Elytra of typical form, testaceous or brown with narrow yellowish lateral margin ( Figs 65–68 View Figures 39–68 ); rare forms with two irregular transverse black stripes on red background. Interocular distance in frontal view 2.7–3.1 times eye

width. Male genitalia ( Figs 127–136 View Figures 122–136 ): parameres slen- der, weakly expanded and rounded apically; penis guide slightly longer than parameres with large apical barb. Penis blunt or weakly pointed apically.
