; body elongate, elytron with lateral margin nearly straight, wider than pronotal base, widest at middle of elytra. Dorsal surface entirely shiny, lacking microsculpture. Color black with slight greenish tint (
Fig. 134
); head dark brown; pronotum with fore lateral margin and fore angles reddish brown; mouthparts yellow except extreme apex of apical maxillary palpomere dark brown; antenna, legs yellow; apical 2 abdominal ventrites yellowish brown. Head punctures large, separated by less than a diameter; pronotal punctures about as large as on head, separated by a diameter or less; elytral punctures a large as on pronotum, separated by less than a diameter, nearly contiguous; prosternal, mesosternal punctures large, separated by less than a diameter; metasternum with large punctures in anterior 2/3, posterior 2/3 with punctures small, sparse; punctures on abdominal ventrites 1–3 large, separated by a diameter or less, punctures on remaining ventrites small, separated by about a diameter. Head pubescent with eye wider than frons measured at vertex (135); eye canthus short; apical maxillary palpomere long, narrowed to apex in apical 1/3. Pronotum widest at anterior angle, reflexed lateral margin narrow, equal in width from base to apex. Epipleuron flat, wide in basal ½, as wide as pronotal hypomeron. Prosternum longer than wide, longer than mesosternum, apical margin truncate, male anterolateral projection small, nearly invisible, not setose. Postcoxal line on ventrite 1 short, evenly rounded, extended less than ½ distance to apical margin of ventrite. Apex of ventrite 5 truncate medially. Genitalia with basal lobe slightly shorter than paramere, slender, wide in basal 2/3, apical 1/3 narrowed to emarginate apex; paramere wide in basal 2/3, gradually narrowed to rounded apex, dorsal margin not serrate (
Fig. 136, 137
); sipho extremely long, slender, apical 1/ 4 filamentous, broken in image (
