Diagnostic description.
Holotype, male (Fig. 49a). Length 2.70 mm. Color of antennae ferruginous; legs dark ferruginous; remainder black. Body subovate, in dorsal aspect with weak constriction between pronotum and elytron; in profile dorsally convex. Rostrum with median ridge and pair of submedian ridges, intervening furrows each with sparse row of mesad directed scales; epistome with irregular transverse ridge. Pronotum coarsely punctate, reticulate-costate, with median costa; with sparse, recumbent scales. Elytra with dense, confused punctation; intervals flat, each with row of punctures; each puncture containing small recumbent scale; elytral apex subtruncate. Femora with simple anteroventral ridge, crenate in metafemur. Metafemur subapically with stridulatory patch. Abdominal ventrite 5 coarsely punctate, with sparse suberect scales. Penis (Fig. 49b) with sides of body subparallel; apex with median angulate extension; transfer apparatus with flagelliform median rod forming almost full coil; median rod projecting basad further than apicad, ca 2.7
