Diagnostic description
Holotype, male (Fig. 18a). Length 2.80 mm. Color black; tarsi and antenna ferruginous. Body elongate; in dorsal aspect and in profile with distinct constriction between pronotum and elytron. Rostrum with median costa and pair of submedian costae, furrows between with sparse rows of suberect scales; epistome flat. Pronotum with marked subapical constriction, anteriorly densely punctate; disk sparsely punctate, deeply sculptured, with median ridge and pair of broad submedian ridges; behind constriction anteriorly with pair of lateral angular protrusions. Elytra subglabrous except basally striae 1–3 with each one fovea; remaining striae indistinct, marked by minute punctures; apex rounded. Femora edentate. Metafemur subapically with stridulatory patch. Tarsomere 3 small, hardly larger than preceding, onychium ca. 2.1 × longer than tarsomere 3. Aedeagus (Fig. 18b) apically angulate, sparsely setose; transfer-apparatus flagelliform; ductus ejaculatorius with indistinct bulbus.
