The pygidium is strongly convex, rather sparsely punctate, the punctures bearing setae which become hair-like towards the posterior margin. The thorax, episterna, and hind coxae are rather densely punctate, but there is a smooth patch on each side of the thorax.

On the middle of the third abdominal segment, there is a strong, projecting spine.
