Diagnostic description
Holotype, male (Fig. 83a). Length 3.44 mm. Color of tarsi and antennae ferruginous, remainder black. Body elongate; in dorsal aspect with marked constriction between pronotum and elytron; in profile dorsally with indistinct constriction. Rostrum with median carina terminating on forehead; with pair of submedian ridges; intervening furrows each with row of erect, piliform scales; epistome with transverse, angulate ridge forming minute median denticle. Pronotum without distinct subapical constriction; disk densely punctate, interspaces glabrous; each puncture containing one small scale. Elytra with striae deeply impressed; each with row of narrow, suberect scales; intervals weakly carinate, nude, coriaceous; interval 7 swollen subapically, laterally weakly projecting; apex extended ventrad, beak-shaped. Metafemur with crenulate anteroventral ridge terminating with small tooth; subapically with stridulatory patch and transverse row of denticles. Metatibia in basal half with dorsal edge denticulate. Abdominal ventrite 5 flat, subapically with shallow pit. Penis (Fig. 83b) with body in profile markedly curved ventrad; in dorsal aspect sides basally concave, before apex subparallel; apex medially with small rounded extension; apodemes 1.6 × as long as body; ductus ejaculatorius without bulbus. Intraspecific variation. Length 3.06–3.44 mm. Female rostrum dorsally with pair of lateral furrows, and pair of more shallow submedian furrows; epistome simple. Elytral apex in males rounded, in females narrower, subangulate. Female abdominal ventrite 5 flat. Penis of specimen ARC2747 narrow, sides subparallel from base to shortly before apex.

Distribution
