size of punctures); punctures relatively large (diameter of punctures more or less equal to diameter of cells of microreticulation) but not coarse; head with a row of coarse setigerous punctures along inner margin of each eye and a very short row of less coarser punctures at frontal angle of each eye; a longer puncture row forms fronto-clypeal depression at each head side; a small uneven median depression probably due to some coarser punctures sometimes present; head with strong microreticulation. Pronotum without strioles but with thin longitudinal wrinkles at middle of posterior margin; pronotal punctation slightly finer and sparser than on head; coarse setigerous punctures form a broad row along pronotal margins, absent in posterior middle; disc of pronotum with indistinct short, thin, longitudinal median scratch. Pronotal microreticulation rather weakly impressed on disc. Elytron without elytral striae but with two very distinct puncture lines on disc and one laterally, their coarse punctures contiguous, especially those of discal lines; three additional lines of very sparse, coarse setigerous punctures can be seen between elytral lines and between lateral line and lateral margin; elytron with fine but rather dense and distinct punctation; microreticulation weak. Ventral part with extremely fine, scarce, inconspicuous punctation, invisible on metaventrite and metacoxae and more distinct on abdominal ventrites; prosternum smooth medially; metaventrite and metacoxae with weak microreticulation; on abdominal ventrites microreticulation almost invisible; metacoxal plates with more or less short longitudinal strioles, abdominal ventrites 1 and 2 with numerous, long, longitudinal strioles from margin to margin, on abdominal ventrites 3 and 4 strioles situated laterally and turn to middle, almost horizontal, abdominal ventrites 5 and 6 without strioles but with distinct punctation that sparser medially and forms a very dense lateral area at each side.

: Protibia straight, not modified. Proclaws rather short, subequal in length: anterior claw slightly shorter than posterior one. Median lobe of aedeagus with two lobes of dorsal sclerite narrow; right dorsal lobe slightly longer than left one; in lateral view, apex of left dorsal lobe slightly curved downwards, with a small crest; left dorsal lobe dorsally with distinct denticulation (spinulae) visible also in lateral left view; apex of right dorsal lobe swollen, very broadly rounded. Left lobe of ventral sclerite with its sclerotised area visible laterally, well-developed, large, broad, shorter than right ventral lobe; its apex more or less rounded, not hooked. Paramere with setae not clearly divided into distal and proximal; more distally situated setae slightly denser than more proximal ones, sometimes with several the most proximal setae standing separately in right paramere (Fig.
