Holotype, male (Fig. 20a). Length 2.30 mm. Color of antennae and legs ferruginous, remainder dark ferruginous. Body subovate; in profile with distinct constriction between pronotum and elytron. Rostrum dorsally with median and pair of submedian ridges; intervening furrows with rows of punctures and sparse setae; epistome short, posteriorly with transverse, subangulate ridge extended into median denticle. Pronotum with very weak subapical constriction; disk with transverse, crenulate costae separated by deep furrows; costae with rows of anteriad directed setae. Elytra with striae deeply impressed, with dense rows of punctures; punctures each with narrow, suberect scale; intervals costate, subglabrous. Metathoracic spiracle located on laterally projecting denticle. Femora with anterior surface punctate-rugose. Profemur edentate. Mesofemur and metafemur with small tooth; metafemur subapically with stridulatory patch. Abdominal ventrite 1 concave, microreticulate, with coarse punctures; ventrite 5 at middle with distinct depression, coarsely punctate. Penis (Fig. 20b) with sides of body subparallel; apex subtruncate, with sparse short setae; basal orifice with transverse brace; apodemes 2.8 × as long as body of penis; endophallus with pair of elongate sclerites; transfer apparatus flagelliform, 2.0 × longer than body; ductus ejaculatorius with distinct bulbus.
