stands out based on the subquadrate elytra with little convex discal elytral intervals (Fig. 25C). The apical elytral setae are polymorphic in this species, with either the apical seta alone present, or both apical and subapical setae present (this configuration varies unilaterally within individuals); setal formula 222(1-2). If a male is available, the diagnosis is certain, as the male aedeagal median lobe is exceedingly slender, with the apex extremely long and narrow and only slightly expanded at the tip (Figs 25C, 27B). The head bears well-developed microsculpture consisting of isodiametric sculpticells in transverse rows. The pronotal disc is covered with an elongate transverse mesh, sculpticell breadth 4
