This image is an enhanced crop of the preceeding dorsal pronotum image made prior to resizing. It details the area around the left posterior fovea. This best shows the "extremely finely, effacedly microreticulate" surface described of the species in Perkins 1980(1).

This image is from a Helicon Focus processed stack of 436 images with a 0.79 µm step taken with a Nikon CF BD 50X/0.90 ∞/- Apo microscope objective + Nikon 135 mm F2.8 telephoto lens + Nikon D810 camera (magnification 33.75X; technique described here).
