deviates from the other two in the well-developed punctation of elytral striae 1-6 in the basal half of the elytra (Fig. 24B). The eyes also tend to be less convex in this species-ocular ratio = 1.38-1.47-though that span overlaps the range of ocular ratios of the other two species at 1.43-1.51. The male aedeagus (Fig. 26A) can diagnose the species, with males of this species (Fig. 26A) exhibiting a broader, more apically flattened apex to the median lobe. Setal formula 2 1 2 0.
