by the shape of the elytral apical spot, lacking any apical extension and by the even elytral contour, lacking any uneven areas or ridges on disc.
Description.
Size
: Total length (without labrum)
7.7–9.6mm
(mean =
8.7 mm
,
n
=12).
Head
: Brown coppery above; greenish ventrally, surface glabrous, with each two setigerous punctures next to the eyes in front and at the centre; with strong transverse striae on frons and strong longitudinal striae on orbital plates, furrows on vertex wrinkled; genae fine transversally striated, brassy near the eyes, the remaining dark blue. Ratio of width of head to width of elytra =
0.9 in
medium. Labrum (male
Fig. 2
, female
Fig. 3
) wider than long, ratio of length to width =
0.7 in
medium; with a medial carina, a blunt short tooth in the middle of front edge in males, a longer pointed tooth in female, and with six marginal setae; color yellow, anterior margin and anterior part of carina black, setigerous punctures black; mandibles yellowish, with four black teeth. Labial and maxillary palpi testaceous, apical segment black, penultimate segment of labial palpi dilated, with long erected white setae. Antennae slender, long, reaching behind the basal third of the elytra in males, behind the shoulders in females; antennomeres one to four dark, with metallic luster; scape with one long apical seta, the other three antennomeres almost glabrous; antennomeres five to eleven dark blackish brown, dull, finely and evenly pubescent.
Thorax
: Pronotum as wide as long (ratio of length to width = 1.0 in medium), sides somewhat rounded between the transversal constrictions; glabrous, covered with white setae laterally; with shallow wrinkled furrows; color brownish coppery. Sternae and episternae dark blue; proepisternum with several white setae; mesepisternum glabrous, with a long distal furrow in the female; metepisternum setose.
Elytra
: (
Fig. 4, 5
) parallel-sided, evenly, slightly extended laterally, coppery brown with greenish and coppery reflections laterally, deeply punctuate with some metallic green foveae along suture and at inner humeral angle, punctures shallower towards apical suture; elytral apex rounded, microserrulate, with retracted sutural tiny tooth; elytral testaceous maculation consists of three roundish dots, a small marginal one, without or with a tiny central one and a larger apical one. Epipleurae brown.
Ventral aspect
: Venter setose, bluish black; coxae with white setae; trochanters testaceous; coxae and femora brown, with green reflections, knee brownish yellow; tibiae brownish yellow, darkened apically; tarsi brownish black; legs covered with some with setae, mesotibiae more densely setose.
Aedeagus
: (
Fig. 6
) moderately bulky and wide on middle third, gradually tapering towards apex, apex slender and evenly extracted, forming a hook (total length
2.5mm
).
