Elytra as long as pronotum or slightly shorter. Female tergite IX with apical lobes of paraprocts longer than continuous anterior portion in dorsal view; sternite VIII with truncate apex. Ventral process of the aedeagus strongly deflexed, distal tip lying beyond median foreman in lateral view (Fig.
45C
).
Distribution.
Canada: ON (
Pentinsaari et al. 2019
).
