Redescription.
Body black, fairly shiny; elytra brownish, with base relatively dark; legs brown. Forebody pubescent, densely punctate and moderately striate. Body length [average] male,
4.31 mm
; female,
3.68 mm
.
Male
: Head (Fig. 16-1C, 16-2A) slightly broader than pronotum. Disc convex, with large and round punctures and dense longitudinal striae laterally; mid-longitudinal sulcus short and deep, with deep impression on each side before base. Supra-antennal ridge with margin incrassate. Temples dilated, approximately two times as long as eyes. Clypeus nearly square, about 1/3 of total head length, slightly convex and coriaceous, with a few small punctures; anterior margin slightly rounded. Epistomal suture with lateral portions straight and parallel, running backward to level of anterior margin of eyes.
Occipital suture curved forward in middle. Antenna filiform, article IV globular, V–X short and transverse, with ultimate article stilliform. Neck with smooth area carrying a few punctures, same size as on head.
Pronotum (Fig. 16-1D, 16-2A) transverse, broadest at near anterior 1/3, with relatively dense punctures and striae, even denser laterally; disc slightly convex, mid-longitudinal sulcus straight and deep, changed narrow and deep to base, with two shallow, narrow paramedial sulci, and bounded by obtuse longitudinal carina, with shallow depression close to lateral margins. Anterior margin slightly emarginate in middle. Anterior angles obtuse and slightly produced. Lateral and posterior margins running continuously, nearly curve-formed, posterior angles not obvious. Scutellum with crest-shaped impression, sharply pointed with median lobe. Elytra densely striate and punctate, not pubescent; lateral margin curved and posterior margins truncate and slightly slant. Abdomen coriaceous, covered with punctures and pubescence. Sternite VII (Fig. 16-1G, 16-2C) with posterior margin almost straight and bearing long setae laterally, in middle with a pair of small tubercles, beyond posterior margin; Sternite VIII (Fig. 16-1H, 16-2D) with posterior margin deeply emariginate and carrying long setae laterally.
Aedeagus (Fig. 16-1J–M, 16-3A–C) with median lobe oval, inflated at base and shortly narrowing to apex; apical orifice large and ventral orifice crescentic; internal sac of median lobe with complicated sclerite. Parameres (Fig. 16-1N, O, 16-3D) closely situated to each other and twining around median lobe, with base half flattened and enlarged, apex half narrow and elongate, with thick seta and two rounded processes at middle of ventral edge of each paramere.
Female
. Head (Fig. 16-1E, 16-2B) smaller than male, narrower than pronotum. Temples shorter, as long as eyes. Pronotum (Fig. 16-1F, 16-2B) with sculptures coarser. Sternite VII (Fig. 16-2E) with posterior margin weekly emarginate. Sternite VIII (Fig.
16-1I
, 16-2F) with posterior margin shallowly broadly bi-emarginate rectangular in middle and protruded. Spermatheca (Fig. 16-1P, 16-3E) with base bulb-like, with apical part clavate and slightly curved.
