Description
Elongate; small; subparallel; subdepressed; head, antennae, and scutellum black; pronotum red with anterior margin black; elytra dark with pale margins and indistinct reddish macula at humerus; venter with prosternum reddish laterally, meso- and metasterna black, abdominal sterna black; leg yellow with black markings. Head: vertex densely punctate, medial sulcus absent; frons not projecting; not depressed between eyes. Antenna: ½ body length; slender; antennomere 1 transverse; 2 transverse, longer than 1; 3 elongate, longer than 1 or 2; 4–10 transverse, each subequal in length to 2; 11 pointed at apex, subequal in length to 3; 1–3 punctate with scattered setae; 4–11 setose. Pronotum: quadrate, widest before middle; lateral margin straight then rounding to anterior angle, canaliculate; anterior angle rounded, obtuse, produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; surface deeply but sparsely punctate, disc impunctate; basal impression absent; pronotal length 0.7–0.9 mm; pronotal width 1.0 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; subconvex, slightly flattened on disc; finely punctate-striate, lateral striae deeply impressed; elytral length 2.4–2.7 mm; elytral width 1.2–1.3 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna punctate; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 complete; last sternite with apical margin broadly emarginate and sinuate medially in male, rounded, entire in female. Leg: slender; punctate; femur robust; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 3.4–3.5 mm.
