The frons and vertex are covered with an evident transverse mesh, the sculpticells more isodiametric on the neck. The pronotal disc bears a shallow transverse mesh, sculpticell breadth 2

The aedeagal configuration reported here (Fig. 47D) is based on a 2006 male specimen collected at 2000 m elevation on Pito Hiti (E.M. Claridge pers. comm.). Though its aedeagal median lobe is similar to that reported by
