sp. n. is unique due to the ratio (3.78) of its antennae I and II segments, head width to length ratio (2.7), pronotum width to length ratio (2.47), hind tibia to hind femur length ratio (1.12), hind tibia length to pronotum width ratio (1.16) and others. The species is also defined by the distinctive structure of the aedeagus and left paramere (Figs 5, 6, 7).
