Diagnosis.
This species can be recognized based on the following combination of characters: punctures on head and pronotum (
Figs 4D
,
9A
) relatively small and deep, elytra (
Fig. 4D
) together more than twice as long as wide, elytral punctures (
Fig. 10J
) fine, and aedeagal median lobe relatively broad for most of its length, then gradually narrowed towards apex (
Sakai 1982
).
Sexual dimorphism.
Females are slightly more robust and relatively shorter than males, with distinctly shorter antennae. For more information, see
Sakai (1982)
.
Distribution.
This species is endemic to
Japan
, being known across Honshu and Shikoku Islands (

).
