Epomial carina: present. Netrion sulcus: complete. Mesoscutal suprahumeral sulcus: indicated by cells. Mesoscutal humeral sulcus: indicated by cells. Pattern of mesoscutal microsculpture: antero-posteriorly uniform. Macrosculpture of mesoscutum: reticulate anteriorly, longitudinally rugulose posteriorly. Area bounded by axillar crescent: smooth. Parapsidal line: absent. Notaulus: absent. Median mesoscutal carina: absent. Median mesoscutal sulcus: absent. Sculpture of mesoscutellum: coriaceous. Postacetabular sulcus: comprised of cells.
