Description
(female).
Holotype
2.0 mm, 3.33
x
as long as wide. Body, antennae, and legs light brown.
Head
: epistoma tuberculate. Frons strongly shiny, finely punctate, setose; each puncture bearing a long, erect hair-like seta. Eyes narrowly and deeply emarginate. Submentum narrow, triangular, slightly impressed. Antennal scape regularly thick, shorter than club. Pedicel shorter than funicle. Club circular, flat, type 3; segment 1 corneous, transverse on anterior face, occupying basal ~1/5; segment 2 narrow, transverse, corneous; segments 1 and 2 present on posterior face.
Pronotum
: 1.3
x
as long as wide. In dorsal view long and rounded frontally, type 7, sides parallel in basal 4/5, rounded anteriorly; anterior margin without serrations. In lateral view elongate, disc longer than anterior slope, type 7, summit prominent, on anterior 3/4. Anterior slope with densely spaced, broad fine asperities, becoming lower and more strongly transverse towards summit. Disc dull with sparse, minute punctures, some longer hair-like setae at margins. Lateral margins obliquely costate.
Elytra
: 2.0
x
as long as wide, 1.5
x
as long as pronotum. Scutellum small. Elytra attenuate, parallel-sided in basal 3/4, then acutely rounded to apex, apex entire. Disc shiny; striae minutely punctate, glabrous; interstriae flat, sparsely, minutely punctate, unarmed, glabrous. Declivity gradually rounded, occupying ~1/3 of elytra, smooth, shiny, declivital face weakly convex; striae very shallowly impressed, strial punctures larger, deeper than those of disc, glabrous, striae 1 irregular, slightly laterally broadened from base to declivital midpoint and then narrowing towards apex; interstriae flat, interstriae 1 and 3 each with three small denticles, interstriae 2 unarmed, those of interstriae 1 and 3 subequal, 0.5-1
x
high as wide, interstriae with a sparse row of erect bristle-like setae. Posterolateral margin with interstriae 3 and 9 joining, forming a feebly carina armed with three small denticles and continuing submarginally to apex.
Legs
: protibiae obliquely triangular, broadest at apical 1/3; apical 1/2 of outer margin with seven large, socketed denticles, their length longer than basal width. Meso- and metatibiae flattened; outer margin evenly rounded with nine and seven large, socketed denticles, respectively.
