Apical callosity present on fourth costal interval at top of elytral declivity. Even-numbered costae with raised, large, oval to round tubercles (especially on intervals 2, 4 and 6), these tubercles widely spaced along elytral length, each with posterior tomentosity and short setae, small nitid areas at front or sides of each tubercle; tubercles on costa 8 small, regularly spaced along elytral length, tubercles slightly larger and higher than tubercles on costae 7. Odd-numbered costae marked by small round to oval tubercles and irregularly spaced nitid areas; tubercles fairly evenly spaced along elytral length, size variable, each almost completely tomentose; nitid areas slightly raised, irregular in shape.
