|
|
<paragraph pageId="248" pageNumber="249">Body length 3.2-3.5 mm, width 1.7-1.9 mm. Body appears somewhat flattened. Colour pattern exhibits only minor variation; basal, pale, transverse marking on elytra moderately broad but always distinct and only broken narrowly at suture (Fig. 526).</paragraph>
|
|
<paragraph pageId="248" pageNumber="249">Head: Pale ferrugineous; posteriorly head becomes slightly darker. Change of colour-intensity is vague. Slightly mat, finely to very finely microsculptured. Reticulation double; small meshes in part reduced and almost absent. Large meshes contain, when discernible, 3-5 small meshes. Almost impunctate. At eyes with some irregular punctures. Area of punctures continues towards middle of head as a sparse, irregular row of punctures.</paragraph>
|
|
<paragraph pageId="248" pageNumber="249">Pronotum: Pale ferrugineous. Basally with a broad but quite narrow, distinct, dark ferrugineous marking. Anteriorly with a somewhat vague, dark ferrugineous to ferrugineous spot. Rather shiny, although finely to very finely microsculptured. Reticulation double. Small meshes in part reduced and almost absent. Large meshes contain, when discernible, 3-5 small meshes. Almost impunctate; laterally and anteriorly with fine but irregular punctures.</paragraph>
|
|
<paragraph pageId="248" pageNumber="249">Elytra: Dark ferrugineous, with a distinct, subbasal, pale ferrugineous marking. In addition, laterally with a narrow pale area and posterior to middle and apically with some irregular, small pale spots (Fig. 526). Rather shiny, although finely microsculptured. Reticulation double. Anteriorly small meshes in part reduced and almost absent while large meshes clearly discernible. Posteriorly small meshes dominate and large meshes become rather indistinct. Almost impunctate. Fine, irregular, punctures form a discal row of punctures. Dorsolateral row of punctures simply indicated by a few, fine and irregular punctures. Lateral row consists of sparse punctures. Lateral, preapical row of punctures located in a shallow and pubescent furrow.</paragraph>
|
|
<paragraph pageId="248" pageNumber="249">Ventral aspect: Pale ferrugineous to ferrugineous; abdomen becomes gradually darker towards apex; dark ferrugineous. Rather shiny, although finely microsculptured. Reticulation of abdomen strongly reduced and extensively absent. Abdomen with fine, curved striae. Almost impunctate. Apical ventrite provided with a sharp knob on one side (Fig. 207). Metacoxal plates with very fine, shallow furrows which in posterior half are reduced and largely lacking. Stridulatory apparatus somewhat vague; consists of a number of fine striae, arranged close to each other. Prosternal process slender, apex slightly extended and pointed.</paragraph>
|
|
<paragraph pageId="248" pageNumber="249">Legs: Pro- and mesotarsus slightly enlarged; provided with fine suckers.</paragraph>
|
|
<paragraph pageId="248" pageNumber="249">Male genitalia: Penis in lateral aspect quite broad, distinctly angled with a small but distinct apical dent (Fig. 377).</paragraph>
