Comment: The original description is based on "A single ♀ " from "Dago, Bandoeng" (CAMERON 1936). The generic assignment is uncertain and requires confirmation based on males.

Redescription: Body length 4.5 mm; length of forebody 2.2 mm. Coloration: head dark-brown; pronotum reddish; elytra pale-reddish, with a large infuscate spot in posterior half, this spot narrowly separated from suture and posterior margin of elytra; abdomen brown, with segments VIII-X and the anterior, lateral, and posterior margins of segments III-VII reddish; legs yellow; antennae reddish.

Head (Fig. 76) weakly transverse, 1.04 times as broad as long, weakly narrowed behind eyes; posterior angles marked; punctation extremely dense and fine. Eyes large, slightly longer than postocular region in dorsal view. Antennae 1.4 mm long; preapical antennomeres approximately as long as broad.

Pronotum (Fig. 76) 1.02 times as wide as long and 1.1 times as broad as head; posterior angles moderately marked; punctation similar to that of head, disc matt; midline with narrow glossy band not quite reaching anterior and posterior margins of pronotum.
