sharing setal formula 2111 (Figs 45C, D, 46A), but deviating from the former by the more elongate sinuation of the pronotal lateral margin, the margin convergent outside the laterobasal depression (Figs 45C, 46A), and from the latter by the broadly ovate elytra; MEW/HuW = 1.97 versus 1.89 in

. This species can also be diagnosed by the smoother discal elytral striae that are irregular along their length but are not distinctly punctate in their deepest portions. Finally, known specimens of this species are smaller than those of the other two species; standardized body length here 3.6 mm, versus 4.1-4.2 mm for the other two species. The frons and vertex bear a shallow transverse mesh that is visible through the reflected shine of the microscope light, and the pronotal disc is covered with an evident transverse mesh, sculpticell breadth 2
