|
|
<paragraph pageId="134" pageNumber="135">Body length: Length 3.1-3.3 mm, width 1.6-1.7. Elytral colour pattern quite uniform; rarely reduced or extended (Fig. 443). Specimen from Nigeria with elytral colour pattern slightly vague.</paragraph>
|
|
<paragraph pageId="134" pageNumber="135">Head: Uniformly pale ferrugineous. At eyes with fine, irregular punctures, which extend towards middle of head. Finely microsculptured; reticulation double. Size classes of microsculpture in part difficult to distinguish because almost equally, strongly developed. Large meshes, when discernible may contain 2-5 fine meshes.</paragraph>
|
|
<paragraph pageId="134" pageNumber="135">Pronotum: Pale ferrugineous. Basally in middle with a rather narrow, dark brownish area. Frontally in middle with a narrow, weakly delimited darker area. Discally, broadly impunctate. At margins with fine, irregular punctures except medially at base where pronotum is also impunctate. Rather shiny although finely microsculptured. Reticulation indistinctly double. Size-classes of reticulation in part, difficult to distinguish. Large meshes extensively hardly discernible.</paragraph>
|
|
<paragraph pageId="134" pageNumber="135">Elytra: Dark ferrugineous to dark brown, generally with well delimited, pale ferrugineous markings. On dark areas broad, dark undulations may be discerned (Fig. 443). Discal row of punctures somewhat irregular but clearly discernible. Dorsolateral and lateral rows of punctures rather indistinct, consist of scattered, irregular punctures. Pre-apical, lateral row of punctures finely pubescent. Rather shiny, although finely microsculptured. Reticulation double; coarse meshes reduced and in part difficult to discern.</paragraph>
|
|
<paragraph pageId="134" pageNumber="135">Ventral aspect: Pale ferrugineous to ferrugineous, no distinct colour pattern. Almost impunctate. Rather shiny although finely microsculptured. Sternites with sparse, slightly curved striae. Metacoxal plates with about 10 fine, partly reduced, almost transverse furrows. Apical sternite asymmetric, with small knob on one side (Fig. 99). Prosternal process slender, extended and apically pointed.</paragraph>
|
|
<paragraph pageId="134" pageNumber="135">Legs: Pro- and mesotarsus slightly enlarged, with suckers.</paragraph>
|
|
<paragraph pageId="134" pageNumber="135">Male genitalia: Penis in lateral aspect, delicate, close to base at external outline distinctly angled and forwards from there almost straight/slightly sinuate to slightly extended tip. Extreme apex only weakly hooked (Fig. 284).</paragraph>
|
|
<paragraph pageId="134" pageNumber="135">Female: Apical sternite lacks knob (Fig. 100). Pro- and mesotarsus narrower.</paragraph>
