Etymology
: The specific name derived from the country, where the species was collected.
Description
: Length:
1.7 mm
, Colouration: Red, legs and antennae yellow.
Head:
0.26 mm
long,
0.37 mm
wide; clypeus semicircular; setiferous punctation moderately deep and dense; setae yellow; netlike microsculpture deep and dense; surface matt.
Antennae slightly longer than head and half of pronotum combined; first antennomere rectangular thick; second oblong, slightly less wide than first; third antennomere conical, slightly shorter and narrower than second; fourth antennomere as wide as third; approximately quadrate; following antennomeres slightly increasing in width; penultimate antennomere 1.5 times as wide as long.
Pronotum:
0.36 mm
long,
0.40 mm
wide; widest behind middle; slightly and evenly narrowed to anterior angles; to posterior angles narrowed in smooth convex curve; continuing to posterior margin without forming distinct angles; lateral margin extremely fine; not visible in dorsal aspect; setiferous punctation deep, coarse; on average, interstices between punctures half as wide as diameter of punctures; setae light yellow; moderately wide midline impunctate; netlike microsculpture deep and dense; surface matt.
Elytra:
0.26 mm
long,
0.39 mm
wide; widest in posterior third; with distinct shoulders; setiferous punctation still coarser than on pronotum; nearly coriaceous; setae light yellow; netlike microsculpture deep and dense; surface matt.
Abdomen with setiferous punctation still coarser than on elytra; on average, interstices between punctures one third as wide as diameter of punctures; without microsculpture; surface matt.
Protibia with few spines on outer edge and few long setae on posterior face.
Aedeagus with smoothly curved apical lobe; paramera slightly shorter than apical lobe and with long straight seta at apex; endophallus thick with elongate coil at lower and upper end and two narrow coils in between.
Diagnosis
: Among the genus the species can be easily identified by the distinct microsculpture and the evenly curved sides of the pronotum.
