Description.
Body length 5.6–6.0 mm. Integument matt, blackish. Head long, length from cervical constriction to clypeus 1.3x as maximal width between genae, straight divergent from cervical constiction to eyes, genae slightly surpassing eyes and with shallow impression, anterior margin of clypeus straight, symmetrical, frons without medial keel or impression, surface with dense but not confluent punctures, each puncture with a light decumbent and acute seta. Eyes not prominent, completely in conture of head. Antennae 11-segmented, shape of antennomeres as in
Fig. 5
, antennomere 2 1.0x as wide as long, antennomere 3 1.0x as wide as long. Pronotum long, narrow, 1.4x as long as wide, widest at anterior corners, sides straight convergent to base, posterior corners rectangular, anterior corners not protruding, disc with a feeble longitudinal impression, without keel, punctures and setation as on head; prothoracic hypomera with similar punctures as on disc and without setation. Elytra elongate-oval, widest in middle, 2.3x as long as wide, humeral corners distinctly protruding forward, punctures in elytral rows large and dense as on pronotum, intervals flat but becoming convex laterally and apically, not keel-like, acute decumbent setation longer than on head and pronotum, lateral margin of elytra visible from dorsal near humeral angles and apically; scutellar strioles short, impressed, each consisting of 2–3 punctures; epipleura with a row of large punctures along entire length. Ventrites with finer, sparser punctures than on pronotum, punctures with very short decumbent setation. Legs without peculiarities. Aedeagus as in
Fig. 11
. apicale somewhat bent to lateral side and so slightly asymmetric.
Diagnosis.
Stenosis helenae
sp. nov.
runs in the key of the Burmese
Stenosis
by Medvedev (1994) to
S. remota
Medvedev, 1994
, described based on a single specimen of unknown sex from northern
Burma
. Both can be separated by the different shape of the pronotum, which is shorter and wider (1.26x as long as wide) with rounded sides in
S. remota
, whereas in
S. helenae
sp. nov.
the pronotum is longer and narrower (1.4x as long as wide) with straight convergent sides. The aedeagi cannot be compared because it is unknown in
S. remota
.
