Description
Elongate-ovate; subdepressed; shining; black; pronotum and elytra with lateral margins dull black; legs and epipleuron dark pitchy-black. Head: vertex distinctly, finely punctate, with narrow medial carina; frons not projecting; depressed between eyes. Antenna: as long as head and pronotum combined; slender; antennomeres 1–10 cylindrical, elongate; 1 not longer than 2; 2 and 3 subequal in length; 4–10 shorter than 3, elongate; 11 2× length of 10, acutely pointed at apex; 1–2 punctate with scattered setae; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin straight then rounding to anterior angle, narrowly margined; anterior angle broadly rounded, projecting; posterior angle acute; anterior margin emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; surface sparsely punctate, larger punctures present medially; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.0–1.2 mm; pronotal width 1.0–1.3 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, broadly margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; moderately punctate-striate, punctures may be confused; elytral length 3.4–3.6 mm; elytral width 1.8–2.0 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna punctate; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 complete. Leg: slender; punctate; femur and tibia with pale seta in each puncture; femur with fringe of setae on inner margin; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 4.9–5.0 mm.
