Metasternum shiny, smooth, deeply grooved. Base of elytra almost straight, interstria not protruding forward. Interstria 3, 5 and 7 enlarged at apex, projecting above the apical declivity and forming a tooth (Fig. 59); interstria 5, 6 and 7 connected forward to form a common humeral interstria. External border of apical "forceps" with a small tooth at base (Fig. 59, arrow); inner border without median tooth.
