Holotype, male (Fig. 19a). Length 3.00 mm. Color of legs and antennae ferruginous; remainder black, pronotum and elytron bronze-coppery. Body in dorsal aspect with marked constriction between pronotum and elytron; in profile convex. Rostrum with median ridge; pair of submedian ridges converging and uniting on forehead; intervening furrows each with sparse row of suberect elongate scales; in apical third coarsely punctate; epistome with transverse, angulate ridge. Pronotum with sides subparallel, slightly converging; with distinct, subapical constriction; disk coarsely punctate, reticulate; each puncture containing brown recumbent seta; with pair of submedian impressions, medially swollen, with indistinct median ridge. Elytra with humeri swollen, laterally projecting; striae distinct, deeply impressed; intervals costate, punctate; punctures near base coarse and dense; near middle transverse band polished. Profemur simple; meso- and metafemur with anteroventral ridge forming large, acute tooth. Metafemur subapically with stridulatory patch. Dorsal tibial edge subbasally with indistinct angulation. Abdominal ventrite 5 flat, densely punctate, with erect setae. Penis (Fig. 19b) with sides of body subparallel; apex rounded, with fringe of conglutinate flattened setae, interrupted by glabrous median notch; transfer apparatus compact; apodemes 2.0 × as long as body; ductus ejaculatorius without bulbus.
