This species is elongate and dorsally and ventrally nearly concolorous red, though some specimens have indistinct pale, subtriangular maculae subapically and the apex of the elytron more pale (Fig. 9A). The elytral apices are slightly dehiscent (Fig. 9A). The lateral elytral carinae are somewhat variable from about 1/4-2/5 length of elytron (Fig. 9B). The prosternal process is very broad and broadly excavated medially with the lateral margins subparallel (Fig. 9C). The metaventrite carinae are promi

The male median lobe in lateral aspect has the basal portion relatively small, the apical portion is elongate, slender and evenly and broadly curved (Fig. 9D). The apex is elongate and sharply pointed (Fig. 9D). The median lobe in ventral aspect has the margins nearly parallel to the convergent, narrowly rounded apex (Fig. 9E). The lateral lobe is broad, curved medially and apically broadly rounded (Fig. 9F). This species is most similar to

There is some variation in the extent of elytral maculation. Given the variation, it is certainly possible that multiple species are involved, thought the diagnostic characters are consistent across the specimens examined.</paragraph>
