Pronotum with dorsal transverse carina antebasal, slightly bisinuate, lateral carinae of pronotum very short, indicated, rather vestigial line. Basal longitudinal carinulae developed, forming acute angle in contact with dorsal transverse carina. Eyes relatively large, not emarginate, only truncated anteriorly, dorsal ocular index
2.35 in
male. The species with the longest antennae within the genus, antennae distinctly reaching the posterior margin of the pronotum in both sexes, in the male with last four apical antennomeres extending beyond. Upper side of the body generally with sparse yellow setae. Frons with dense setae inner ocular margin, disc of pronotum with distinct and narrow longitudinal stripe (amply interrupted in middle), pronotal declivity with three wider spots clothed by yellowish setae. Elytra with intervals alternate and elongate light spots, with yellowish and brownish setae, more evident on intervals II and IV (more visible on the female in
Fig. 61
), on other elytral intervals these spots are less perceptible. Body size ca.
5.6–6.5 mm
[not
4.5 mm
as erroneously stated by
Jordan

]. Colour pattern as in
