Information: n/a

Description: body: elongate-ovate, semi-slender. Pronotum semi-cordate, transverse; base slightly more narrow than humeral shoulder width, curving outwards from top of the constricted region, then back towards the head; hind angles obtuse. Pronotal disk mostly smooth, a few minor wrinkles near the base and lateral margins. Head triangular, dark, glossy silvery-grey, rough, not wrinkled. Occiput slightly constricted into a wide neck. Eyes large; bulbous. Antennae short; scapus and pedicel orange, rest dark brown, antennal pubescence begins on the first antennomere. Palps dark brown. Ventral colouration dark piceous; legs piceous or pale to dark yellow. Elytral tips barely truncate, tip of abdomen hardly protrudes form beneath. Lateral elytral margins pale brown, thin, but upturned. Dorsal elytral colouration a mixture of black, a few shades of brown, and varying shades of tan. The actual shades of these colours vary from one region to the next.  Maculation patterns generally remain more or less the same, with one pale marking near the apex of the elytra, a dark patch below it, while another blotchy brown and black marking is seen above the pale macule, and another pale marking above this blotchy dark one.  Because the two elytra are supposed to be near-mirrors of each other, the second elytron should have the same pattern. 7-9 deep, well-defined striae per elytron.
