Description. OBL 4.92 - 5.08 mm. Length (n = two males, one female): head 0.48 - 0.50, pronotum 0.82 - 0.92, elytra 3.00, metepisternum 0.64 - 0.72 mm; width: head 1.04 - 1.08, pronotum 1.60 - 1.68, elytra 2.33, metepisternum 0.40 - 0.44 mm. Body proportions. HW / HL 2.08 - 2.25; PWM / PL 1.78 - 1.95; EL / EW 1.29; ML / MW 1.45 - 1.70. Color. Fig. 64. Dorsum of head rufo-brunneous, clypeus and labrum brunneo-testaceous, lighter that head, antennae and palpi testaceous to brunneous; disc of pronotum testaceous, strikingly lighter in coloration than head and elytra, margins translucent; elytral disc rufo-brunneous, hint of iridescence in basal 1 / 4, margins, suture, and apical area diffuse, rufous; ventral surface testaceous; legs with trochanter and femora testaceous to brunneo-testaceous, tibia with dorsal surface partially piceous. Microsculpture. Dorsum of head with microsculpture granulate, isodiametric, sculpticells smallest on disc, between eyes, becoming gradually larger towards base, easily visible at 50 x magnification; pronotum with transverse to somewhat transverse mesh pattern. Macrosculpture and pilosity. Ventral surface of head distinctively rugulose; elytra with intervals somewhat convex, with several randomly scattered setigerous punctures, hardly visible at 50 x; striae faintly punctate. Fixed setae. Elytra with interval 3 with two punctures bearing fine setae, first near mid-length and second ~ 2 / 3 to apex. Luster. Head capsule and pronotum moderately dull; elytra moderately glossy; ventral thoracic sterna and abdominal sterna moderately glossy. Head. Mandibles almost entirely covered by pronotum; labrum more or less rectangular. Pronotum. Anterior transverse impression shallow; posterior transverse impression shallow; median longitudinal impression moderately shallow; lateral margins widely explanate, apical margin deeply emarginate, forming distinctive apico-lateral lobes, posterio-lateral margins broadly rounded, obtuse. Elytra. Hind angles slightly sinuate. Male genitalia. Figs 65 A-D, 66. Length 0.88 - 0.96 mm. Ostium left pleuropic. Phallus cylindrical, narrowing from mid-length to apex, apex somewhat elongate and slightly spatulate, rounded at apex and with slight constriction before apex, in ventral view; endophallus, short, slightly curved just above mid-length, with two large spine fields present, one row of vertical spines basally on side closest to phallus base, one larger, vertical spine field on apical side from below mid-length to endophallus apex. Female genitalia. Fig. 71 B. Width 0.76 mm. One spermatheca (sp 1), elongate and domed at the apex; spermathecal ring sclerite (srs) dividing spermatheca from spermathecal duct; one spermathecal accessory gland (sg) with spermathecal gland duct (sgd) attachment site on relatively large lobe (srsl) coming off of right side of ring sclerite when viewed from ventral aspect.
