); body outline with slight but perceptible discontinuity between pronotum and elytra; maximum width situated near middle of elytral length. Dorsoventrally rather flat. Dorsal and ventral surfaces blackish in large part; largely with weakly impressed reticulation, thus only little shiny, but not matt; appendages dark brown.

broad, width about 75% that of pronotum and about 65% that of maximum width of body; interocular distance large, about 75% width of head and about 55% that of pronotum. Head largely dark reddish brown, near anterior clypeal border and a large dot on frons darker; before and behind eyes, in impressed puncture lines and in grooves as well as on vertex blackish; narrow and short, oblique stripe on clypeus above insertion of each antennae shining through brownish. Reticulation covering entire surface, meshes polygonal, more or less uniform, somewhat more impressed and more transverse only behind eyes. Punctation very sparse, distance between punctures ca. that of four meshes, diameter equal to that of one mesh, before vertex some punctures slightly bigger. Alongside inner margin of eyes with impressed puncture line, each puncture with a short seta. Clypeus with two flat interocular grooves behind anterior margin.

relatively broad, maximum width about 90% that of maximum width of body; maximum width before base, more or less at midlength of pronotum; sides almost evenly curved over total length, somewhat converging behind midlength; surface somewhat impressed in posterior third; lateral rim distinct, width more or less same over entire length; at anterior angles very shortly but distinctly broadened. Surface black, but lateral rim brownish translucent, particularly in posterior two-thirds; anterior margin and near mid of posterior margin also brownish translucent. Reticulation similar to that of head. Punctation generally less sparse and punctures larger, however; behind anterior margin and on disc smaller and sparser. Centre of disc without single very coarse puncture or scratch. Without distinct puncture line behind anterior margin, but a few larger punctures might be interpreted as rest of such line. Near anterior and posterior margin as well close to sides several punctures with long backwardly oriented seta, but barely perceptible because clinging to surface.

rather elongate, but not distinctly parallel, maximum width near midlength. Elytra to large extent blackish, apex brownish, lateral rim brownish in posterior half. Reticulation similar to that of head and pronotum; however, meshes smaller and more impressed at apex, there surface matt. Punctation on disc rather distinct, more or less uniformly distributed, similar to that on lateral parts of pronotum; punctures smaller near sides, next to suture and at apex. Puncture lines almost imperceptible, only indicated by a very few slightly larger punctures. Most punctures bearing a transparent yellowish seta with length about that of distance between two punctures; however, setae usually very close to surface and almost imperceptible. In lateral view margin of elytra ascending slightly towards humeral angle. Epipleuron in lateral view visible to humeral angle. Lateral rim distinct, narrower than that of pronotum.

: Lifting of the elytra showed that the metathoracic wings are largely developed and by no means strongly reduced. Thus, it seems to be probable that the species is capable of flight.
