appearing cut off or suddenly shortened
declivitydeclivity:
downward slope of either the pronotum or elytra
surrounded by a granulategranulate:
pertaining to a coarse, grainy surface texture
circumdeclivital costacosta:
elevated ridge that is rounded at its crest, not necessarily with sharp appearance
; pronotumpronotum:
the dorsal surface of the thorax
subquadrate from dorsaldorsal:
of or relating to the upper surface; opposite of ventral
view (type 3); declivitaldeclivital:
pertaining to the elytral declivity
interstrial punctures replaced by a single row of tubercles; declivitaldeclivital:
pertaining to the elytral declivity
strial punctures large, distinct; declivitaldeclivital:
pertaining to the elytral declivity
face with 3 striaestria:
punctures in rows, which may or may not be impressed to make grooves
, feebly sulcatesulcate:
deeply furrowed or grooved
on striaestria:
punctures in rows, which may or may not be impressed to make grooves
,/4, surface smooth; and declivitaldeclivital:
pertaining to the elytral declivity
striae clearly, uniformly impressedimpressed:
a depression in a surface
; and interstriaeinterstria:

impressed and bear smaller punctures.

May be confused with
Cyclorhipidion amasoides, C. amputatum, C. circumcisum, C. muticum, C. trucaudinum, all of which are large and have an obliquely truncateobliquely truncate:
nearly truncate but rounded not flat in lateral view
