Length 6.0 mm. Colour uniformly brown.</p> <p>CLYPEUS. Wide, with convex anterior margin, rounded laterally, finely crenulate. Genae small, not protruding past eyes. Frontal suture indistinct. Clypeus with long, slender horn directed upwards and slightly curved backwards apically. Dorsal surface of head finely punctate. Labrum deeply sinuate in the middle, distinctly protruding past clypeus.</p> <p>PRONOTUM. With rounded sides, about 1.5 times as wide as long, with deeply concave disc, conical lateral processes aside excavation, and smooth, rounded tubercle medially near base. Anterior angles acute; posterior angles rounded, indistinct in dorsal view. Pronotum bordered on anterior margin and base. Lateral margins with long, sparse, brown setae. Sides irregularly punctate with round punctures separated by 3–5 puncture diameters.</p> <p>SCUTELLUM. Subtriangular, narrowly rounded apically, about 1/10 length of elytra.</p> <p>ELYTRA. About as long as wide, with distinct humeral humps, widest in middle, lateral margins slightly rounded in basal half. First (sutural) stria distinct, as feebly impressed groove with row of punctures. Other stria before humeral humps as rows of round setiferous punctures, separated by more than 3 their diameters except for base of elytra. Elytral intervals covered with minute punctures.</p> <p>WINGS. Macropterous.</p> <p>LEGS. Protibiae with 3 outer teeth. Lateral margin basad of outer teeth not crenulate. Apical spur of protibia absent. Left protarsus absent. Middle and hind legs similar in shape; metafemora and metatibiae about ⅛ as long as the mesofemora and mesotibiae. Mesotibia and metatibiae somewhat triangular with 2 apical spurs, inner margin almost straight, with 1 transverse keel. Upper spur of tibiae as long as two basal tarsomeres. Claws ⅓ length of apical tarsomere. Femora almost impunctate.</p> <p>ABDOMEN. Ventrally irregularly punctate, pubescent, with sparse, long setae. Abdominal sternite 8 medially shorter than sternites 4–7 combined. Pygidium invisible from above, with slightly truncate apex in caudal view. Plectrum triangular with rounded apex, wider than long.</p> <p>AEDEAGUS. Parameres relatively short (0.5 length of phallobase), curved downwards, tapering apically, spear-shaped in dorsal view, with feebly visible lateral teeth (Fig. 3D–E). Endophallus with a compact cluster of 6 spinules (Fig. 3G).</p> <p>Female</p> <p>Female (Fig. 3H) differs from the male in having a relatively smaller pronotum without armature, frontoclypeus without process, and prothoracic spur present.</p> <p>Variation</p> <p>Body length of the paratypes varies from 5.9 to 4.6 mm (males) and 4.7 to 6.0 mm (females).
