The new species is easily differentiated from the latter by the presence of the medial projection on the female pygidium, by the markedly distinct shape of male genitalia, and the usually paler body color. This new species is likely closely related to the central African

. Body narrowly elongate, scarcely transversely convex, uniformly testaceous-orange. Dorsal surface rather densely, finely and shallowly punctate (spaces between pronotal and elytral punctures ~1.5–2× diameter), with dull and shagreened interspaces; elytra without traces of transverse strigose sculpturing. Pronotum trapezoidal in shape, with widely arcuate lateral sides, maximum width near posterior five sixths. Pubescence on pronotum and elytra sparse, golden-whitish, moderately long and distinct, each seta markedly shorter than antennomere 6, slightly longer along posterior base. Body uniformly orange-yellowish, without pale areas, including peripheral margins (pronotal carina) of pronotum; legs and antennae uniformly yellowish-orange, testaceous, with antennal club distinctly darker, pale brown. Antennal club elongate, symmetrical, without differences between sexes. Proximal base of pygidium with normal, “V” shaped medial impression, directed posteriad. Prosternal process broadly rounded distad, maximum width near distal 2/5. Metaventrite almost flat, only slightly depressed in posterior half, with a scarcely distinct longitudinal impression. Last abdominal ventrite bearing two rather small proximal semicircular impressions, diameter nearly 1.2× the diameter of an eye.
