<paragraph pageId="0" pageNumber="8150">Male: (Fig. 214) Medium-sized, total length 12.59 mm (n=1, Suppl. material 2); slender. COLORATION: Entire surface brown, dorsum of head, posterior pronotal lobe, corium, clavus, apices of femora, parts of tibiae somewhat reddish. VESTITURE: Sparsely setose. Short, recumbent setae on dorsal surface of head, long recumbent setae on ventral surface; short, erect, spine-like setae on dorsum, denser on anterior lobe; few moderately long, erect, fine setae on ventral surface. Pronotum with sparse, recumbent setae and short, erect setae over dorsal surface; denser, moderately long recumbent setae on lateral surface and pleura, intermixed with semi-erect or erect setae; scutellum with sparse, semi-erect and recumbent setae. Legs with sparse setation on femora and moderately dense setation on tibiae. Corium and clavus with short, recumbent setae. Abdomen with moderately dense, short recumbent setae, intermixed with sparse, short to long, erect setae. STRUCTURE: Head: Cylindrical, L/W = 2.43. Postocular lobe long; in dorsal view distinctly narrowing through anterior 2/3, posterior 1/3 constant, tube-like. Eye prominent; lateral margin much wider than postocular lobe; dorsal margin attaining postocular transverse groove, ventral margin removed from ventral surface of head in lateral view. Labium: I: II: III = 1: 2.1: 0.4. Basiflagellomere diameter slightly larger than that of pedicel. Thorax: Anterolateral angle with inconspicuous subtuberculate projection; medial longitudinal sulcus evident throughout, deepening posteriorly. Posterior pronotal lobe with rugulose surface; disc about same level as humeral angle; humeral angle armed, with spinous processes. Scutellum moderately long; apex angulate. Legs: Very slender, femoral diameters subequal. Hemelytron: Surpassing apex of abdomen by about length of abdominal segment seven; quadrate cell small and slender; Cu and M of cubital cell subparallel. GENITALIA: (Fig. 215) Pygophore: Ovoid; not expanded laterally in dorsal view. Medial process cylindrical; slender; moderately long, much longer than paramere; minute spicules on posterior surface; semi-erect; basally slightly curved; apex in posterior view acute, with small hooklike projection. Paramere: Cylindrical; moderately long, slightly exceeding medial process; directed posteriad; apical part appearing somewhat truncate dorsally. Phallus: Dorsal phallothecal sclerite elongated; medial, longitudinal sulcus on dorsal surface; apical portion of phallothecal sclerite gradually tapering, distinctly keeled medially, laterally flat, not forming angle; apex acute; posterior margin of foramen broadly concave, accuminate in middle. Basal plate arm slender; separate, briefly touching; converging; in lateral view slightly curved; bridge short; extension of basal plate expanded laterally onto arm, covering more than 1/2 of arm.</paragraph>
