Diagnosis. This species is similar to the species with narrow elytral apices ( A. nalandae , A. aurosus and A. rolciki ). It may be distinguished by its smaller size (4.9 mm) and by the apex of last abdominal ventrite not emarginate.
Description (Holotype): Body form, color and pubescence as in Fig. 5 View FIGURES 1 – 6 . Head and eyes distinctly convex; eyes not protruding from head outline. Pronotum with subparallel sides, distinctly narrowed just before apical margin; apical margin narrower than basal margin; anterior pronotal lobe prominent, distinctly projecting beyond anterior pronotal angles; pronotal disk markedly convex, distinctly impressed at base; prehumerus long, extending almost to half of pronotal length, sharply costate, straight with apex arcuate downward and markedly distant from marginal carina (lateral view).
Elytra without humeral carinae, short, markedly attenuate apically, bichromatic with bronze and violet patterns combined with golden and whitish pubescence; apices narrowly separately arcuate. Prosternum ( Fig. 37 View FIGURES 34 – 49 ): Prosternal lobe large with apical margin distinctly arcuate and incised medially; prosternal process tricuspidate, with sides expanded and with sharp uniplanar angles and weakly impressed disk. Basal abdominal ventrite without tubercles. Apex of last abdominal ventrite without emargination.
Aedeagus ( Fig. 60 View FIGURES 58 – 76 ).
