Among the four species in this group with individuals exhibiting contrastedly paler elytral margins, this species (Fig. 149A) is diagnosed by the very shallow elytral striae, with only the sutural and 2nd striae impressed on the disc. The pronotal median base is less punctate than in the two bicolored species with punctate striae;

(Fig. 143D). In this species the pronotum has ~16 isolated punctures each side, and the surface of the pronotal laterobasal depression is smooth. The male aedeagal internal sac is bilobed in this species, with the basal lobe subequal in length to the apical lobe (Fig. 150
