<paragraph pageId="13" pageNumber="14">Description.</paragraph>
|
||
<paragraph pageId="13" pageNumber="14">Body: Length 4.9-5.2 mm, width 2.7-2.8 mm. Dorsal colour pattern exhibits only slight variation (Fig. 379).</paragraph>
|
||
<paragraph pageId="13" pageNumber="14">Head: Pale ferrugineous to ferrugineous to brownish; posteriorly at pronotum slightly darker than anteriorly; however, change of colour gradual and no colour pattern formed. Submat, entire head finely microsculptured; meshes small and only of one kind. Impunctate, except at eyes, with some fine, irregular punctures. Anteriorly, close to edge of head with a few transverse impressions formed by elongated punctures.</paragraph>
|
||
<paragraph pageId="13" pageNumber="14">Pronotum: Pale ferrugineous to ferrugineous, medially broadly, distinctly darker; basal area blackish. Submat, finely and densely microsculptured. Meshes of microsculpture small, uniform and of one kind only. Impunctate, except at margins, finely and somewhat irregularly punctate. Broad area basally in middle lacking punctures.</paragraph>
|
||
<paragraph pageId="13" pageNumber="14">Elytra: Pale ferrugineous, with blackish to dark ferrugineous, slightly variable marking (Fig. 379). Submat, with fine, uniform, evenly distributed microsculpture. Meshes of microsculpture quite small, of one kind. Fine, irregular punctures form a discal row of punctures, which spread out and disappears posteriorly. Scattered, fine punctures indicate presence of a vague, dorsolateral and lateral row of punctures. Pre-apical, lateral row of punctures comparatively long, forms a, in part, distinct furrow with some setae.</paragraph>
|
||
<paragraph pageId="13" pageNumber="14">Ventral aspect: Blackish to dark ferrugineous; no distinct colour pattern formed. Submat, finely to very finely microsculptured. Abdominal ventrites with dense, curved striae. Metacoxal plates with some transverse furrows, which posteriorly fade away. Apical ventrite lacks asymmetric knob/process (Fig. 12). Prosternal process rather slender, apex moderately, posteriorly extended, apically pointed. Almost impunctate, apical ventrite with some scattered punctures.</paragraph>
|
||
<paragraph pageId="13" pageNumber="14">Legs: Pale ferrugineous, hindlegs slightly darker, ferrugineous to brownish. Pro- and mesotarsus slightly enlarged, with fine suckers.</paragraph>
|
||
<paragraph pageId="13" pageNumber="14">Male genitalia: Apical half of penis slightly sinuate and when viewed from above; tip of penis slightly curved right (Figs 212-213).</paragraph>
|
||
<paragraph pageId="13" pageNumber="14">Female: Pro- and mesotarsus rather slender. Apical ventrite as in Fig. 13.</paragraph>
