This species differs from others by being dorsally nearly concolorous but with indistinct paler regions subapically and apically (Fig. 14A), having the lateral elytral carina about 1/3 length of elytron (Fig. 14B), having the metaventrite platform (the area between the metaventrite carinae) not strongly constricted (Fig. 14C), and having the metacoxal lines approximately continuously curved with the suture between the metaventrite and metacoxae (Fig. 14C). Specimens are similar to

in general shape and coloration, but they have the metacoxal lines intersecting the metaventrite/metacoxal suture at an angle. The male median lobe is very broadly curved with an elongate triangular basal portion and the apical portion very slender, evenly curved, and apically sharply pointed (Fig. 14D). The median lobe in ventral aspect is broad with subparallel margins in the basal half (Fig. 14E). In the apical half it is strongly constricted to an elongate, slender apically narrowly rounded apex (Fig. 14E). The lateral lobe is very broad, evenly curved and tapered to the rounded apex (Fig. 14F). There is a dense series of setae in a cluster subapically on the dorsal margin (Fig. 14F).

Metaventrite with anterior process moderately broad, apically truncate, medially distinctly impressed; metasternal carinae distinctive across metasternum, slightly curved and moderately divergent posteriorly, ending near anterior ends of metacoxal lines (Fig. 14C); other surfaces finely punctate. Legs shiny, most surfaces with very fine, indistinct punctures; metatibia with posteroapical brush of setae distinctive; pro- and mesotibiae moderately broad; metatrochanter somewhat offset, apically somewhat rounded; metacoxa covered with fine punctures; metacoxal lines sinuate, anteriorly broadly divergent (Fig. 14C).
