Diagnostic description
Holotype, male (Fig. 91a). Length 2.25 mm. Color black; legs deep ferruginous; antenna and tarsi light ferruginous. Body subovate; with weak constriction between pronotum and elytron; in profile evenly convex. Rostrum dorsally rugose-punctate, at middle with low median ridge and pair of submedian ridges. Eyes large. Pronotum punctate; interstices usually larger than diameter of punctures. Elytra punctate with small punctures; striae weakly impressed; intervals with minute punctures; lateral stria behind humeri with dense row of deep punctures. Femora with small tooth at middle. Metafemur dorsoposteriorly punctate-denticulate; subapically with stridulatory patch. Tibiae dorsally carinate, with rows of dark scales partly projecting over dorsal edge. Abdominal ventrite 5 flat, densely punctate. Aedeagus (Fig. 91b) with sides converging in apical half; apex rounded, sparsely setose; transfer-apparatus asymmetrical, spiniform, curved somewhat S-shaped, subequal to body of aedeagus; ductus ejaculatorius without bulbus. Intraspecific variation. Length 1.86–2.58 mm. Female rostrum dorsally without distinct ridges, with rows of punctures.
