Holotype redescription
MEASUREMENTS. Length: 13 mm. Width: 6 mm.
HEAD. Blackish-brown, surface with upright setae. Labroclypeus, shape of anterior margin weakly sinuated medially, posteriorly with dense punctation. Ocular canthus with terminal setae, ratio to eye: 1/3. Antennae with eight antennomeres; antennal club with three antennomeres; ratio antennal club/remaining antennomeres: 1/1; ratio third vs fourth antennomere: 1/4; fourth antennomere, lateral projection absent; ratio fifth vs fourth antennomere: 1/5.
PRONOTUM AND ELYTRA. Surface of pronotum and elytra with upright setae. Pronotum unicolored, blackish-brown, widest at middle, anterior marginal line present, posterior marginal line absent, lateral margin strongly convex and smooth (not serrate), antero-lateral angle dorso-ventrally flattened, posterolateral angle dorso-ventrally not flattened, punctation on disc dense, setae of lateral margin dense, median longitudinal excavation absent. Scutellum, punctures medially present. Elytra unicolored, reddishbrown, surface opaque, microsculpture absent, punctation on intervals present and dense, diameter of strial and interval punctation equal.
