The frons is somewhat tomentose and very finely and densely, somewhat irregularly punctate. The lateral margins are sparsely fringed with light brown hairs. The pronotum is very densely punctate, slightly more coarsely than the frons, as is the scutellum. The elytra have strong rows of punctures.[3]
