Name

Diagnostic description
Holotype, male (Fig. 72a). Length 2.43 mm. Color black; antennae, legs and elytra ferruginous. Body subrhomboid; with weak constriction between pronotum and elytron; in profile evenly convex. Rostrum in basal half with distinct median ridge and pair of submedian ridges; with lateral constriction; sparsely setose. Pronotum densely punctate-reticulate. Elytra with striae distinct; strial punctures small; intervals with row of minute punctures; laterally behind humeri with ridge bordered by 4 deeper punctures of stria 9. Femora edentate. Anteroventral ridge of profemur in apical 1/3 shortened, forming weak angulation. Mesofemur and metafemur dorsally sparsely squamose. Metafemur subapically with stridulatory patch. Metatibia apically with uncus and minute premucro. Abdominal ventrite 5 with shallow depression and patch of dense erect setae. Aedeagus (Fig. 72b) apically weakly pointed, sparsely setose; body dorsally with two combs of setae; transfer-apparatus spiniform, curved; ductus ejaculatorius with bulbus. Intraspecific variation. Length 2.14–2.43 mm. Female rostrum in apical half subglabrous, sparsely punctate. Female abdominal ventrite 5 flat, with subrecumbent setae.
