, width 3.7–5.0 mm. Color black or dark reddish brown, with or without vague pale reddish markings or infuscations. Integument dull, punctate throughout. Punctures each bearing a short, robust seta, surrounded by dense golden micropilosity, especially evident on venter of thoracic sterna and abdomen. Rostrum more or less straight, cylindrical basally, markedly laterally compressed and ‘‘knife-like’’ in apical one-half; densely punctate basally, less so apically. Mandibles much taller than long. Peduncle of postmentum rounded, prominent ventrally or not. Antennae inserted subbasally on rostrum, scape shorter than funicle; funicle with articles 3–5 slender, longer than wide; club somewhat elongate, especially basal glabrous part. Pronotum wide, disk flat; lateral margins subparallel in basal one-half, evenly rounded, convergent to apex in apical one-half; basal margin slightly sinuate at middle. Elytra broad, flat; intervals of uniform width, with or without micropilose nodules; striae shallowly impressed. Scutellum rhomboidal, widest at or near middle. Procoxae separated by about width of antennal club; mesocoxae separated by from one-third to two-thirds width of mesocoxa; metacoxae widely separated by about one and one-half to two times width of metacoxa. Prosternum flat, sloping anteriorly between procoxae; prosternal process acuminate. Mesosternal process flat, truncate, very slightly emarginate at apex; mesepimeron with the dorsal one-half of the anterior face precipitous, broadly abutting the posterolateral margin of the pronotum. Metasternum concave at middle, otherwise flat. Pygydium exposed, more or less vertical in orientation in male, slightly more horizontal and prolonged apically in female; flat, punctate throughout, pilose apically. Legs with inner face of each coxa with tuft of long setae; legs each with femur and tibia more or less straight. Tarsus with articles 1–3 with ventral surfaces densely pilose; width of article 3 three to four times width of article 2, wider than long. Male with aedeagus short, slightly to moderately ventrally arcuate, laterally with distinct unsclerotized arcuate line dividing aedeagus into apically narrow dorsal portion and apically broader ventral portion; apex not projected, evenly rounded, subtruncate or very slightly emarginate. Median struts transversely fused for short distance at more or less basal one-quarter, subparallel or divergent to apex. Internal sac with only very long, very fine, narrow median rod, finely bifurcate at extreme apex. Tegminal strut extended slightly beyond apex of internal sac, widest at apex. Tergite 8 somewhat produced and elongate in form, maximum length subequal to or slightly longer than maximum width at base; with long dense setae at apex, apex evenly rounded, slightly produced or subtruncate, very slightly emarginate at middle or not. Paired sclerites of sternite 8 elongate, length two to three times maximum width. Genitalia of female not examined.
