Jerome, the pronotum is very finely, densely punctate (a bit less dense in the center).

The arrangement of the fine setae however, actually give it a striated appearance.

So that's it! Some Goephanes have these bristles that give a striated appearance on the top of the pronotum.

It is my pleasure,

I have had very good success in many places with the beating sheet.

The Callichromatini are the next (and final) group.
