Eyes large, more than half as long as distance from posterior margin of eye to neck in dorsal view. Antenna 2.0 - 2.17 mm long. Pronotum 1.19 - 1.27 times as long as broad, nearly as wide as head (PW / HW = 0.91 - 1.0), lateral margins convex in dorsal view, punctation similar to that of head, but with impunctate midline, interstices glossy. Elytra wider, and nearly as long as pronotum (EL / EW = 0.91 - 1.04, EW / PW = 1.13 - 1.27, EL / PL = 0.92 - 1.01); punctation coarse and dense, arranged in series; interstices without microsculpture. Abdomen broader than elytra; punctation fine and dense; posterior margin of tergite VII with palisade fringe. Male. Sternite VII (Fig. 1 D) strongly transverse and with distinct median impression, this impression without pubescence, posterior margin with distinct median concavity; sternite VIII (Fig. 1 E) weakly transverse, with long and pronounced postero-median impression, this impression with a few modified, stout and short black setae (10 - 20 on either side of middle), posterior excision rather narrow and moderately deep, on either side of this excision with a cluster of long dark setae; aedeagus (Figs 1 B, C) 0.82 - 0.87 mm long, ventral process long, curved, and apically acute in lateral view.
