Description. Male holotype. Length 2.2 mm, width 1.7 mm; body round, slightly elongate, convex. Dorsal surface shiny, lacking alutaceous sculpture. Color yellow; pronotum with dark brown, mediobasal macula extended 2/3 distance to apical pronotal margin, apex weakly emarginate with yellow; elytron dark brown with 5 small, yellow spots, spots arranged in transverse rows of two each plus one at apex, apical spot transversely oval ( Fig. 439 View Figures 429–442. 429–433 ); prosternum brownish yellow, meso–, metaventrites brown; abdomen yellow. Head punctures small, separated by less than diameter, each puncture as large as 1–2 eye facets; pronotal punctures larger than on head, separated by less than 2 times diameter; elytral punctures larger than pronotal punctures, dense, separated by 1–3 times diameter. Clypeus weakly emarginate apically, nearly truncate, lateral angle abruptly rounded. Eye canthus about 6 eye facets long, angled forward, apically rounded, yellow. Pronotum narrowed from base to apex, basal angle slightly rounded, anterior angle abruptly rounded, lateral margin weakly rounded, basal margin without bordering line. Epipleuron narrow, grooved, deeply emarginate for reception of femoral apices. Protibial flange wider than remainder of protibia, outer margin arcuate with about 8 small teeth in basal 3/4, sponda extended beyond protibial border. Carinae on prosternal process narrowly separated at apex, parallel, joined at prosternal base. Metaventrite without setal tuft. Basal abdominal ventrite without median setal tuft. Abdomen without primary pores laterally between ventrites 4–5; postcoxal line on basal abdominal ventrite arcuate throughout, slightly separated from apical margin of ventrite, apex extended forward. Abdominal ventrites with short, sparse pubescence, punctures on basal 3 ventrites separated by about diameter medially, becoming smaller and dense laterally, ventrites 3–5 densely punctured throughout; 5th ventrite depressed medially in apical 1/2, apical margin weakly emarginate, with small tubercle bearing tuft of setae on each side of median depression; 6th ventrite short, narrow, weakly depressed in apical 1/2, depression glabrous, without median tubercle, apical margin shallowly emarginate, angle on each side of emargination abruptly rounded, bearing small tuft of dense setae. Apical tergite short, narrow, apex weakly emarginate, surface densely, finely punctured. Genitalia with basal lobe shorter than paramere, tapered from base to apex, slightly “pinched” in apical 1/2, apex obliquely rounded; paramere Unm type, widened apically, apex rounded ( Fig. 440, 441 View Figures 429–442. 429–433 ); sipho robust, wide, curved in basal 1/2, basal capsule with inner arm slender, inwardly sinuate, apically truncate, outer arm slightly wider than inner arm, slightly longer than inner arm, with accessory piece, basal border deeply emarginate ( Fig. 442 View Figures 429–442. 429–433 ).
Female. Unknown.
Variation. The specimen listed under “Other specimen” has coarse, dense elytral punctures and is very small, 1.6 mm long, so it is not designated as a paratype.
Type material. Holotype male; Bolivia, Mapiri ( ZMHB).
Other specimen. 1, same data as holotype. ( ZMHB).
Remarks. The specimen listed under “Other specimen” has an identical color pattern and nearly identical male genitalia, and may be this species.
