This second of the three bicolored species (Fig. 60B) exhibits more narrowly flavous elytral margins-only intervals 8-9-versus piceous discal intervals 2-7. The sutural interval is rufous basally, flavous apically. The bisetose pronotum is more transverse than that of

, the parascutellar and subapical elytral setae are present, but the elytral humeri are narrower in this species-MEW/HuW = 2.06 versus 2.0-and the elytra more ellipsoid. The setal impressions of the dorsal elytral setae are larger in beetles of this species, as they span interval 3. Setal formula 2 1 2 1[sae]. Standardized body length 3.4 mm.
