Body small-sized, roundish, distinctly convex (Fig. 1A); LB = 1.20 mm. Maximum pronotal width in basal third (WP = 0.52 mm); maximum elytral width in middle (WE = 0.74 mm). Dorsal integument brownish, shiny, with slightly paler elytral suture. Frons and vertex smooth (Fig. 2A); frontal tubercles absent; frontal grooves distinctly impressed, extending from upper ocular margin to antennal socket on either side; inter-antennal space slightly wider than length of

antennomere; frontal carina wide, flat apically, not delimited laterally, and poorly delimited posteriorly; eye sub-elliptical, rather wide; antennae slightly shorter than half body length (Fig. 1A) (LAN = 0.58 mm; LAN/LB = 0.48); antennomeres (Fig. 2A) 1-2 distinctly wider than the rest, the first sub-conical and the second sub-cylindrical; 7 distinctly wider than the adjacent antennomeres; 1-3 pale in colour, 8-11 brownish; LA: 100:114:43:71:71:71:93:86:100:114:135. Pronotum (Fig. 2B) sub-trapezoidal, slightly wider posteriorly, distinctly transverse (LP = 0.34 mm; WP/LP = 1.51), distinctly rounded laterally, and as wide as elytra basally; not margined anteriorly and basally; basal margin distinctly sinuous; lateral margin moderately expanded; anterior angles distinctly prominent, obliquely bevelled; posterior angles with a slightly prominent setigerous pore; punctation rather dense and uniform; most punctures slightly elongate and deeply impressed on sub-smooth surface. Scutellum (Fig. 2B) slightly elongate, roundish apically, with sub-smooth surface. Elytra (Figs 1A, 2D) slightly elongate (LE = 0.99 mm; WE/LE = 0.75), entirely covering pygidium, strongly arcuate

, jointly rounded apically; lateral margin moderately expanded up to sub-apical part of elytra, slightly visible in dorsal view; punctation arranged in 9 (+ 1 scutellar) regular rows; punctures larger than on pronotum, and distinctly impressed on most of the surface (shallower towards elytral apex); interstriae slightly raised, humeral callus distinct and prominent. Macropterous metathoracic wings. Legs with femora dark brown and tibiae brownish; coxae, apex of femora, base of tibiae, and tarsi yellowish. First tarsomere of anterior and middle tarsi distinctly dilated. Body dark brown ventrally; last visible abdominal sternite without special preapical impressions. Aedeagus (Fig. 3C) (LAED = 0.49 mm; LE/LAED = 2.03) tapering slightly towards the apex in ventral view; sub-triangular apically, acute, without a median tooth; surface smooth, with rather large pores, more numerous laterally; phallobasis widely rounded basally; aedeagus distinctly and evenly curved in lateral view, the apex slightly dorsally oriented; dorsal ligula about half the length of median lobe, wide, formed by an apically acute, triangular, median lobe, and two lateral lobes.
