This species does not have a carinate prosternum in either male or female. The prosternal process is longitudinally slightly convex and relatively narrow with the lateral margins distinctly convergent to a pointed apex. The male mesotibia is unmodified. The male metatrochanter and metafemur are unmodified (Fig. 20) and the male last abdominal ventrite is unmodified. The male median lobe in lateral aspect is very small basally with the apical portion long, slender and evenly curved to a narrowly rounded apex (Fig. 17). In ventral aspect the median lobe is slender basally with the lateral margins expanded apically, divided into two long, slender curved rami that bend

is similar to many other species of

with relatively unmodified ventral surfaces and legs in males or females. The main difference between this species and others is the male genitalia. The slender, elongate, longitudinally emarginate male median lobe and broad and uniquely shaped lateral lobes (Figs 17-19) are unlike any other species in the genus. This is also one of the smallest species in the genus.

(Fig. 16). Head and pronotum yellow, posterior margin of pronotum medially narrowly brown. Elytron with base color brown with diffuse, transverse pale regions anteriorly, medially and at apex (Fig. 16); surface slightly but distinctly purplish iridescent. Head appendages, legs and ventral surfaces yellow to yellow-orange.

<paragraph pageId="13" pageNumber="22">Sculpture and structure (Fig. 16). Head with dorsal surface smooth and shiny, with extremely fine micropunctures. Pronotum (Fig. 16) smooth and shiny with few broadly dispersed micropunctures; lateral margins broadly rounded, pronotum broadest medially, slightly constricted at posterior angles, about same width as greatest width of elytra; basal striae moderately well impressed, extending to nearly 1/2 distance across pronotum. Elytron (Fig. 16) very broadly curved laterally; shiny, finely microreticulate across surface, impunctate. Prosternal process elongate, basally broad and posteriorly convergent to narrowly rounded apex, lateral margins broadly rounded; surface approximately flat. Metaventrite process anteriorly produced with weak lateral carinae that do not extend posteriorly; surface of metaventrite smooth and shiny, not carinate or otherwise modified. Metacoxa with lateral portions shiny, not punctate; metacoxal lines elongate, subparallel. Abdominal ventrites smooth, impunctate; ventrite VI smooth, evenly convex, apically pointed.</paragraph>
<paragraph pageId="13" pageNumber="22">Male genitalia. Median lobe in lateral aspect with small basal portion, apical portion elongate, slender, broadly and evenly curved to narrowly rounded apex (Fig. 17); median lobe in ventral aspect deeply bifid into two elongate, slender rami, apically pointed and with apices curved towards each other apically (Fig. 18); lateral lobe in lateral aspect very robust, basal and apical portions similar in length and width, apical portion broad, apically truncate and toothed (Fig. 19).</paragraph>
