Pronotum: transverse, widest medially; lateral margin arcuate, narrowly margined; anterior angle rounded, little produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin curved anteriorly; disc subconvex; surface weakly punctate, except medial line which is impunctate, more densely punctate basally and laterally; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.7 mm; pronotal width 2.0 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, narrowly margined; apex strongly rounded, smooth; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; disc subconvex; strongly punctate-striate, punctures confused basally; elytral length 5.5 mm; elytral width 2.7 mm. Venter: obscured by card; strongly punctate laterally, impunctate medially; last sternite finely punctate. Leg: slender; punctate; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex.
