Diagnostic description
Holotype, male (Fig. 43a). Length 2.68 mm. Color of antennae and legs ferruginous; remainder black. Body subrhomboid; in dorsal aspect with constriction between pronotum and elytron; in profile dorsally convex. Rostrum dorsally with median and pair of submedian ridges; intervening furrows with rows of suberect yellowish scales; epistome short, subglabrous, posteriorly with transverse ridge. Pronotum with lateral edges subparallel, weakly converging, rounded to subapical constriction; disk densely punctate, forming broad ridge with impunctate median line; anteriorly some punctures bearing long, slender scales. Elytra with humeri laterally markedly protruding; striae marked by small punctures; stria 1 more distinctly impressed; intervals subglabrous, with sparse recumbent yellowish scales; humeri densely irregularly punctate; along base transversely impressed, with punctures larger, scales denser and wider. Femora edentate; anteroventral ridge distinct, simple. Metafemur with dorsoposterior edge denticulate; subapically with stridulatory patch. Metatibia in basal 1/2 with dorsal edge denticulate; in apical 1/2 slender, posteroventrally densely clothed with short yellowish setae. Abdominal ventrites 1–2 concave, subglabrous; ventrite 5 flat, sparsely punctate. Penis (Fig. 43b) with sides of body subparallel; apex weakly rounded, with setae; apodemes 2.5 × as long as body of penis; transfer apparatus complex; ductus ejaculatorius with indistinct bulbus.
