Description
Elongate; subdepressed; shining; reddish-yellow; antennae black; legs yellowish. Head: vertex moderately, irregularly punctate, faint medial sulcus present; frons not projecting; depressed between eyes. Antenna: as long as head and pronotum combined; slender; antennomere 1 short, transverse; 2–4 elongate; 2 thick, subequal to 1; 3 slightly longer than 2; 4 ¾ length 3; 5–10 subequal in length, each ¾ length of 4; 11 2× length 10, pointed at apex; 1–3 punctate with scattered setae; 4–11 setose. Pronotum: quadrate; lateral margin straight and slightly divergent for basal ¾ then rounding to anterior angle, slightly canaliculate; anterior angle broadly rounded, not produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin curved anteriorly; disc subconvex; surface strongly, irregularly punctate; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.1 mm; pronotal width 1.4 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; alutaceous. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, narrowly margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; moderately punctate-striate; elytral length 3.7 mm; elytral width 1.6 mm.
