DESCRIPTION: Size. Length 7 to 9 mm.; width 4.5 to 4.6 mm. Coloration. Elytra of both sexes dark blue with blue epipleura; head and pronotum ferrugineus; mandibles dark red-brown to piceous at tips and along mesal edges; antennal segments 3-5 black or banded black; segments 6-11 dusky to brown; mesepisterna and sides of abdominal sterna black (venter may vary from dark ferrugineus to dark brown). Head. Labrum entire; dorsal surface of the mentum convex at middle with a setae at each anterior corner; bead around eyes entire joining with ridge over antennal base; furrows on frons shallow, finely rugose usually in form of a "V"; numerous setae arise behind eyes and a few from top of head; microscultpure consists of fine isodiametric meshes. Pronotum. Widest just behind anterior angles well in front of middle; anterior angles prominent and rounded; posterior angles prominent and acute; with lateral margins narrowly reflexed and narrowly beaded with a dark reddish-brown color; disc convex to flat, slightly rugose at center and at most a few setiferous punctures occurring in apical and basal transverse impressions; anterior transverse impression reduced to almost a triangular fovea; microsculpture consists of small isodiametric meshes. Elytra. Male elytra truncate, widest at apical third narrowing toward rounded humeri which are not prominent; deeply costate; microsculpture consists of fine isodiametric meshes; pubescent band confined anteriorly to 7th and 8th intervals, but broadened gradually and covering entire elytra beyond apical third. Female elytra similar, but proportionately wider than those of male in apical half. Aedeagus (
