Diagnosis.
Rather small, light dark brown, right mandible without median tooth, labrum emarginated at frontal margin, head and pronotum coarsely punctate, elytral striae shallow, punctures large and isolated; abdominal ventrite VII deeply emarginated at apical margin in male, aedeagus more slender.
Length:
13.5 mm
; width:
5.5 mm
.
Body light dark brown. Habitus as in
Fig. 3
.
Surface very shiny, head and pronotum with sparse and small punctures, elytra glabrous. Microsculptural meshes densely isodiametric.
Head as long as wide; eyes large, extraordinary prominent, neck constricted, labrum slightly emarginated at frontal margin, frontal impressions deep and short, not extending the level of fore margins of eyes; clypeus bisetose, base slightly raised; mandibles strong, right mandible without median tooth; palpi similar to those of above species; ligula narrow, bisetose at apex; mentum without median tooth, asetose, submentum with a pair of setae; palpiger unisetose; antennae similar to those of
A. wallacei
, but extending to basal one-fourth of elytra.
Pronotum similar to that of above species (PW/PL=1.6), but lateral expanded margins wider, basal margin slightly produced backwards in median portion.
Elytra elongate ovate, EL/EW=1.5, convex; base unbordered, widest a little behind middle, paralleled at sides; apex broadly truncate, inner angle nearly rectangular, pointed; elytral striae shallow, strial punctures large, well-marked and isolated; intervals flat, equal in width at middle, without puncture and setiferous pore, except a row of tiny punctures at basal part of interval 8.
Prosternal process unbordered at apex.
Hind
tarsomere 4 slightly emarginated at apex. Abdominal ventrite VII slightly emarginated at apical margin in male (
Fig. 6
).
Male genitalia.
The median lobe of aedeagus slender and elongate, slightly expanded in median portion, the apical lamella slightly longer than wide, rounded at apex (
