extending to interstriaeinterstria:
longitudinal spaces along the elytra between the striae, which is not as<br /> impressed and bear smaller punctures.
6; body glabrousglabrous:
smooth, devoid of vestiture
except for pronotalpronotal:
pertaining to the pronotum
and elytralelytral:
pertaining to the elytra
bases; striaestria:

strongly shiningshining:
appearing glossy or bright in luster; referring to a surface that is polished and reflects light well
; declivitydeclivity:
downward slope of either the pronotum or elytra
shagreened; declivitaldeclivital:
