can be distinguished from males of the former, and all other known congeners, by the uniquely elaborated shape of its abdominal terminalia. No other known species displays its combination of elongate, dorsally recurved, falciform sternal processes, dorsally produced tergal angles and elongate, dorsally recurved, falciform phallic apex. The female remains unknown.

. Width: 3.0 mm. Form: cylindrical. Color: integument brown, except pronotum, head and femora which are dark brown, and a rather narrow, irregular, light brown median elytral fascia extending from the elytral suture to the lateral margin. Vestiture: consisting of abundant and uniformly distributed very short, reclinate golden setae, interspersed with some longer erect setae. Head: measured across eyes, wider than pronotum; eyes large, moderately coarsely faceted, vertex densely set with fine punctures, shallowly rugulose; antennae rather elongate, scape elongate, antennomere 2 less than 1/2 length of scape, antennomeres 911 shorter than antennomeres 38, antennomere 11 elongate and subacuminate. Pronotum: narrower than elytra at humeri, sides constricted behind anterior margins, slightly expanded anterior to middle, more distinctly constricted posterior to middle; disk shining, punctures fine and nearly confluent, uniformly distributed and smaller than those on elytra. Elytra: 3.34 times longer than broad; humeri rounded; disk shining, subflattened above; surface serially punctured, punctures coarse, larger at basal third, becoming smaller toward apex; apices subsinuate, slightly dehiscent. Mesosternum and metasternum: with punctures fine and abundant; metasternum without carinae. Legs: clothed with short recumbent setae, mixed with some long erect setae; femora and tibiae with punctures fine and abundant. Abdomen: sternites shining, finely punctate; fifth visible sternite with sides slightly convergent, lateral apical angles rounded and posterior margin broadly, arcuately emarginate; sixth visible sternite with sides oblique and posterior margin in the form of a deep “V”, with the lateral apical angles each produced as a dorsally recurved elongate spine (Fig. 3a). Sixth tergite with sides oblique, last third dorsoventrally depressed and concave at middle, apical margin truncate at middle, lateral margins elevated posteriorly and subacutely produced, base of angles ventrally with a shallow notch that appears to receive the apical spines of sixth visible sternite. Apex of phallus produced as a dorsally recurved elongate spine (Fig. 3b), with a pair of short carinae at its base.

Specimens were collected in tropical dry forest at light trap; presumably this species, like most of its congeners, is nocturnal. Collections were made in November and January, within the first half of the dry season at REBIOSH.
