Diagnostic description
Holotype, male (Fig. 91a). Length 2.20 mm. Color of legs and head ferruginous; remainder black. Body subovate; in dorsal aspect with weak constriction between pronotum and elytron; in profile dorsally convex. Rostrum in front of eye with distinct lateral constriction; dorsally with median and pair of submedian ridges; intervening furrows with sparse rows of subrecumbent setae; epistome short, posteriorly with transverse, angulate ridge. Pronotum with disk densely coarsely punctate; each puncture containing fine, recumbent seta; with impunctate median ridge; towards sides punctures becoming larger, with reticulate interspaces. Elytra with striae marked by small punctures, each with indistinct recumbent seta; intervals subglabrous, with few interspersed punctures. Femora edentate. Meso- and metafemur with anteroventral ridge crenate. Metafemur with dorsoposterior edge weakly denticulate-crenate; subapically with stridulatory patch. Metatibia at middle ventrally with short row of setae. Abdominal ventrite 1 concave, sparsely punctate, microreticulate; ventrite 5 punctate, at middle and sublaterally with shallow depressions. Penis (Fig. 91b) with sides of body subparallel; apex subangulate, with short median extension, sparsely setose; apodemes 2.4 × as long as body of penis; transfer apparatus complex; ductus ejaculatorius without bulbus.
