<paragraph pageId="2" pageNumber="99">Length: 9.9 mm, length of elytra: 7.5 mm, width: 6.2 mm. Body oval, dark reddish brown, dull, labroclypeus shiny, except some single setae on head dorsal surface nearly glabrous.</paragraph>
<paragraph pageId="2" pageNumber="99">Labroclypeus wide and subtrapezoidal, widest at base, lateral margins weakly convex and convergent anteriorly, anterior angles strongly rounded; anterior margin weakly sinuate medially, margins weakly reflexed; lateral margin and ocular canthus produce an indistinct blunt angle; surface nearly flat, finely and densely punctate, glabrous; frontoclypeal suture distinctly incised, evenly curved; smooth area anterior to eye weakly convex, twice as wide as long; ocular canthus short and wide (1/3 of ocular diameter), finely and densely punctate, without a terminal seta. Frons with sparse, fine punctures, and one or two single long setae beside each eye. Eyes small, ratio diameter/interocular width: 0.63. Antenna with ten antennomeres; club with three antennomeres and straight, 1.1 times as long as remaining antennomeres combined. Mentum elevated and slightly flattened anteriorly.</paragraph>
<paragraph pageId="2" pageNumber="99">Pronotum moderately wide, widest at base, lateral margins evenly convex and convergent anteriorly, anterior angles distinctly produced and sharp, posterior angles blunt, strongly rounded in the tip; anterior margin convex, with the marginal line widely lacking, base without marginal line; surface sparsely and finely punctate, glabrous; lateral margin finely setose, anterior margin glabrous; hypomeron carinate, not produced ventrally. Scutellum wide, triangular, dull, with fine, dense punctures.</paragraph>

; epipleural edge robust, ending at strongly curved external apical angle of elytra, epipleura sparsely setose; apical border of elytra finely membranous, with a fine rim of microtrichomes (visible at ca. 100x magnification).
</paragraph>
<paragraph pageId="3" pageNumber="100">Ventral surface dull, coarsely and densely punctate, glabrous, metasternal disc sparsely covered with fine, short setae; metacoxa with a few longer setae laterally. Abdominal sternites finely and densely punctate, glabrous, each sternite with a loose transverse row of punctures each bearing a fine seta. Mesosternum between mesocoxae as wide as mesofemur. Ratio of length of metepisternum/metacoxa: 1/1.44. Pygidium weakly convex and dull, coarsely and densely punctate, without midline, glabrous except a few robust setae along apical margin.</paragraph>
<paragraph pageId="3" pageNumber="100">Legs short and wide, shiny; femora with two longitudinal rows of setae, finely and sparsely punctate. Metafemur with anterior margin acute, without adjacent serrated line, both rows of setae completely reduced; posterior margin smooth, widened and smooth at apex ventrally, not serrate dorsally, glabrous. Metatibia short and wide, widest at middle, ratio of width/length: 1/2.18, sharply carinate dorsally, with two groups of spines, basal group at anterior third, apical group at three quarters of metatibial length, with a few short robust setae and a short serrated line parallel to the dorsal margin basally; lateral face longitudinally convex, shiny but basal third dull, impunctate and glabrous; ventral margin finely serrate, with four equidistant robust setae; medial face smooth and glabrous; apex finely serrate, moderately truncate interiorly near tarsal articulation. Tarsomeres dorsally smooth and glabrous; meso-and metatarsomeres lacking in holotype. Protibia moderately long, bidentate; anterior claws symmetrical, basal tooth of both claws bluntly truncate at apex.</paragraph>
