Diagnostic description
Holotype, male (Fig. 44a). Length 3.13 mm. Color black; antennal scape and funicle ferruginous. Body ovate; with weak constriction between pronotum and elytron; in profile evenly convex. Rostrum dorsally densely punctate, without ridges or furrows, towards apex punctures becoming minute; laterally and at base with white scales. Pronotum densely punctate; dorsally punctures minute, laterally larger, anterolaterally with scattered white scales. Elytra dorsally with minute, confused punctures, subglabrous; laterally strial punctures sparse but deeply impressed. Femora edentate. Meso- femur and metafemur dorsally densely squamose with white scales. Metafemur with smooth dorsoposterior edge; subapically without stridulatory patch. Metatibia apically with uncus, without premucro. Abdominal ventrites 1–2 weakly concave. Aedeagus (Fig. 44b) symmetrical; apex subangulate, subglabrous; transfer-apparatus simple, dentiform; ductus ejaculatorius without bulbus. Intraspecific variation. Length 2.95–3.41 mm. Female rostrum in apical 2/3 dorsally subglabrous. Female abdominal ventrites 1–2 flat.
