Oblong-ovate; subconvex; shining; black; palps, tarsi, antennae (except basal 4 antennomeres) reddish-brown. Head: vertex finely, sparsely punctate, with sharp medial carina; keel present between antennal bases; frons not projecting; not depressed between eyes. Antenna: as long as head and pronotum combined; robust; slightly compressed laterally; antennomeres 1–4 subquadrate, subequal in length; 5–10 transverse, slightly decreasing in length; 11 longer than 10, pointed at apex; 1–2 punctate with scattered setae; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin straight then rounding on apical ⅓ to anterior angle, slightly canaliculate; anterior angle rounded, produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin weakly emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; surface finely, irregularly punctate; basal impression absent; pronotal length 0.8 mm; pronotal width 1.1 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin narrowing apically, smooth, finely margined; apex weakly rounded, faintly crenulate; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; constricted behind humerus; subconvex; finely punctate-striate; declivity beginning just behind humerus along puncture row 7 with weak carina; elytral length 2.5 mm; elytral width 1.5 mm. Venter: obscured by card. Leg: slender; punctate, each puncture with pale seta; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 3.5 mm.
