Diagnostic description
Total body length 11–16 mm, body matt. Pronotum semi-elliptical, with evenly distributed, homogenous, distinct punctures on whole dorsal surface (Fig. 13). Elytra more flattened; with middle-sized, more densely arranged larger punctures, very dense toward the inner elytral margin and here sometimes subquadrate in shape (Fig. 17).
Elytra more flattened. Large punctures are dispersed over the entire elytra with a higher concentration towards the inner elytral margin, which makes the elytra appear coarse. Smaller punctures are also present on both elytra, scutellum and pronotum, although they appear to be larger than those of Ablattaria laevigata but less frequent.
Biology
Seasonal activity of adults with a peak in May and June (Table 1).
Distribution
From the south of Russia (Dagestan, Chechnya), Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Iran to south-western Turkmenistan (Fig. 32).
