specimen was incidentally crushed by the author and lost, after taking its measurements and photographs (including SEM micrographs) for the purpose of this description. The only parts left on the card are antennae (one nearly complete) and two tarsi. Only one elytron was finally found on the carpet floor, it has been glued to the original card. The abdominal ventrites and genital preparation remained safely mounted on other cards.
