Description
Elongate; subparallel; subdepressed; shining; pronotum, scutellum, venter, and legs yellowish-brown; antennae, vertex of head, and mouthparts black; elytra black with yellowish-brown maculae- a heart-shaped macula near scutellum reaching to puncture row 5 and extending to near middle along suture and a transverse nearly rectangular band just behind middle from suture to puncture row 5. Head: vertex with very fine punctures, with weak medial sulcus; frons not projecting; slightly depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches to humerus; slender; antennomere 1 robust, elongate, cylindrical, 2× length 2; 2 transverse, shortest; 3–10 elongate, cylindrical, subequal in length; 11 longer than 10, acutely pointed at apex; 1–2 punctate with scattered setae; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: slightly transverse; lateral margin straight for basal 4/5 then rounding to anterior angle, margined; anterior angle rounded, not produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin weakly emarginate behind head; disc subconvex, impunctate; surface with scattered, shallow punctures laterally and basally; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.5–1.7 mm; pronotal width 1.7–1.9 mm. Scutellum: elongate pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, slightly produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; declivity beginning just behind humerus at puncture row 7 not edged with faint carina; moderately punctate-striate, rows converge and unite apically; pygidium densely setose; elytral length 5.9–6.2 mm; elytral width 2.4–2.6 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna impunctate; abdominal sterna sparsely punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 obsolete medially; last sternite with apical margin emarginate medially in male, rounded in female. Leg: slender; sparsely punctate; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 7.8–8.2 mm.
