group (Fig. 16B), with a broad pronotum - MPW/PL = 1.29 - and relatively broad elytra standardized by maximum head width; MEW/MHW = 2.45. The elytra are polymorphic for the number of dorsal setae; the left elytron bearing two setae and the right only the anterior seta; thus the setal formula 21(1-2)2. Standardized body length 6.9 mm. Head with broadly convex frons, the frontal grooves narrow posterad and separated from the anterior supraorbital seta by a thin but distinct carina; eyes somewhat bulging dorsally, ocular ratio 1.49, ocular lobe ratio 0.80, the ocular lobe joining the gena at a narrow groove; antennae elongate, filiform, antennomere 8 length 2.33

maximal breadth. Pronotum basally with broadly explanate and upraised lateral margins, the hind angles indicated by a flattened expansion of the margin that looks to all intents and purposes the site for placement of a basal seta (but no seta is present either side); median base distinctly depressed relative to the very convex disc, about 24 small, isolated punctures each side; anterior transverse impression finely, distinctly incised for much of breadth, shallower at midline, with indistinct longitudinal wrinkles crossing anterior callosity; lateral marginal depression narrowest just anterad lateral seta, slightly broader inside broadly rounded front angles, evenly broadened posterad lateral seta to hind angle. Elytra with striae 1-8 deep, complete from basal groove to apex, the discal elytral intervals broadly, moderately convex; the eighth interval broadly carinate apically, extended dorsally above narrowed apex of interval 7, and convexly bulging laterally dorsad the subapical sinuation; lateral elytral setae 7 + 6; apical elytral seta present just laterad stria 2 as it nears stria 7, and subapical elytral seta present in stria 7 just laterad terminal fusion of striae 3 + 4. Microsculpture of vertex reduced, surface glossy, indistinct transverse mesh on neck; pronotal disc glossy, median base mostly glossy but shallow transverse mesh in parts between punctures; discal elytral intervals with a transverse mesh, the sculpticell breadth 2

length, mixed with transverse lines, the microsculpture resulting in a coppery reflection. Coloration of head dark rufous; antennomere 1 flavous, 2-3 rufoflavous, 4-11 rufobrunneous; pronotal disc rufopiceous, lateral marginal depression anterad lateral seta rufobrunneous, median base rufous; elytral disc rufopiceous, the sutural interval basally rufous and apically rufoflavous, lateral marginal depression rufobrunneous; femora rufoflavous with brunneous cast, tibiae rufobrunneous with smoky cast most developed in apical half.

Aedeagal median lobe dorsoventrally expanded apically, with a slightly convex ventral expansion and blunt dorsal tooth (Fig. 18B); ostial canal straight, terminated just ventrad the blunt dorsal tooth; internal sac bearing a large, melanized flagellar plate (Fig. 18C), plate length 0.67
