Diagnostic description.

Holotype, male (Fig. 25a). Length 3.80 mm. Color of tarsi, tibiae and antennae ferruginous, remainder black. Body elongate; in dorsal aspect with marked constriction between pronotum and elytron; in profile dorsally evenly convex. Rostrum with median carina terminating on forehead and pair of submedian ridges; intervening furrows each with row of erect piliform scales; epistome with transverse, angulate ridge. Pronotum anterolaterally projecting, rounded; with subapical constriction; disk densely punctate, interspaces subglabrous; each puncture containing recumbent seta; disk with pair of submedian, shallow impressions. Elytra with striae weakly impressed, partly indistinct; intervals flat; punctation confused, more dense towards base, near basal margin punctures partly confluent; each puncture containing small recumbent seta; interspaces microreticulate; interval 7 swollen subapically, laterally weakly projecting; sutural interval at apex markedly swollen, forming pair of rounded apical protrusions. Anteroventral ridge of femora forming blunt tooth. Metafemur subapically with stridulatory patch. Abdominal ventrite 5 with broad impression, densely punctate, setose with erect setae. Penis (Fig. 25b) with sides of body subparallel; apex broadly rounded; transfer apparatus distinct, compact; apodemes 1.6 × as long as body; ductus ejaculatorius without bulbus. Intraspecific variation. Length 2.94-3.80 mm. Integument of males dull, microreticulate; females with punctures sparser and smaller, interspaces polished. Female rostrum dorsally with glabrous median costa bordered by submedian and sublateral pairs of furrows; epistome simple. Female elytra with lateral contour evenly convex to apex; male elytra with lateral contour at humeri subangulate, in straight line to apex. Female abdominal ventrite 5 flat.
