). Due to its somewhat ovate outline, it is the only species of the group having the maximum body width not at humeral callus but at the middle of elytron. Antennae are unusually short, with squat antennomera not reaching the humeral calli when directed backwards. This trait makes the only specimen in study inconsistent with any other species of the group and forced the creation of a new species even though on the basis of a single female. Moreover, other traits like the overall outline and the shape of the head strongly support this choice.
