The pronotum is almost straight at the sides, covered with strong bristle-like structures, the hind angles distinctly rounded, the anterior margin projected forward in the middle, the surface is finely but not very densely punctate, with tiny hairs in the punctures and there is a fine, unpunctate line in the middle.
