Diagnosis.
Dorsal rostrum and profemora testaceous, apex of ventrite VII of females acuminated, elytral costa strongly demarcated.
Redescription.
Head black, with rostrum dorsally testaceous, as long as antennomeres I+II (
Fig.16
); coronal suture shallow, hardly visible; median interocular distance of
2x
the width of eyes. Mandibles short, slightly arched, testaceous, connates to labrum. Maxillary palp with palpomere I small, ca. 1/3 the length of II; palpomere II elongate, subconic; palpomeres III+IV as long as II, the last broadened, securiform. Antennae finely pubescent, scape subconic, constrict basally; pedicel small, 1/4 the length of scape; antennomere III as long as the sum of I+II; III to V subequal; antennomeres V to XI gradually decreasing in length.
Pronotum subtrapezoidal, wider than longer (9:12), with margins stout and rounded, angles rounded, testaceous, with a median longitudinal black stripe; a pair of longitudinal elevations parallels, broadened in middle third and less prominent in anterior and posterior region; a pair of oblique elevations in basal third region starting from 3/4 portion and reaching but not touching the broadened region in middle third of pronotum; a pair of curved longitudinal elevations parallel to median longitudinal elevations (
Fig. 26
).
Elytra subparallel, broadened apically, with lateral margins stout, testaceous, apical third black, not reticulated. Arrangement of elytral costae: costa I and IV not fused to any other, both free; costae II and III subapically fused, this fusion continuing into a single costa (II+III); elytral costae not reaching elytral apex. Scutellum black, transverse (

Female ventrite VII transverse, densely pubescent, with apical region deeply notched, forming two acuminated apices (
