Adiscus inornatus
Chen & Pu, 1980
, holotype: A. habitus; B. lateral view of habitus. (Scale bars = 0.5 mm).
Head dull; distinctly and coarsely punctate. Eyes reniform, emarginated below middle; superior eye-lobes separated about equally as antennal insertions. Antennae short, reaching basal region of elytra, scape long, pedicel short and round, antennomeres 3 and 4 minute, shorter than pedicel, 6–11 somewhat broadened and flattened, about equal in length and broad.
Pronotum (Figs. 17-1A; 17-2A) convex, smooth and shiny, base much broader than apex, basal width about twice pronotal length. Anterior margin nearly straight. Posterior margin finely sinuate with fine serration, and produced into an obtuse angle of about 105° at middle. Disc evenly convex, fine and coarse punctures.
Elytra (Figs. 17-1A; 17-2A) as broad as long, humeri somewhat prominent, shiny. Disc distinctly and evenly punctate, with 11 regular striae, intervals without any minute punctures. Epipleural lobe (Fig. 17-2B) large, lateral margin distinctly expanded ventrally with rounded lobe at basal 1/2 of erytron, with both lobe sides forming angle of 130°, epipleura visible in lateral view.
Venter clothed with sparsely short pubescence. Prosternum (Fig. 17-2C) trapezoidal, lateral ridge slightly prominent, bifurcate, posterior margin nearly straight. Mesoventrite broad, about 2.7 times as wide as long. Pygidium with dense and coarse punctures
