, figs. 761, 764, 770, 771 (n. sp., diag., descr., DV, figs. head-pronotum).
DIAGNOSIS: Recognized by laterally flattened labrum, clear differentiation between anterior and posterior lobes of pronotum with a posterior lobe distinctly convex in lateral view, incomplete transverse fascia on hemelytron, and pale coloration of exocorium at level of apex of claval commissure.
DESCRIPTION: See
Schuh (1984)
.
HOSTS: Unknown.
DISTRIBUTION:

DISCUSSION: We did not reexamine the
holotype
of this species, but the strongly swollen and convex posterior lobe of the pronotum, shape of the head, coloration, and the other characters in the diagnosis clearly indicate it is unique.
