Body usually reddish brown; head and abdomen slightly darker than other parts; antennae and legs paler. Head. Subquadrate, about as wide as long, widest across eyes, slightly narrower than pronotum; eyes small and slightly prominent, about 0.6-0.7 times longer than tempora; infraorbital carina incomplete; gular sutures moderately separated, dilated apically. Antennae dilated apically; antennomeres 1-3 elongate, 1 longest, 4-10 distinctly transverse, 11 longer than wide, about as long as preceding two combined. Thorax. Pronotum transverse, approximately 1.3 times wider than long, widest at apical third; pubescence directed posteriorly in midline. Elytra slightly transverse, slightly wider than pronotum, elytron approximately 1.5 times longer than wide, pubescence directed posteriorly and postero-laterally; postero-lateral margin slightly sinuate; hind wings fully developed. Legs. Slender and long, with dense pubescence and setae; tibiae with two spurs at apex; meso- and metatarsomeres 1-4 subequal in length. Abdomen. Parallel-sided, widest at middle; surface distinctly glossy and densely pubescent; male tergite VIII with 4 macrosetae on each side of midline, posterior margin subtruncate; male sternite VIII with 7 macrosetae on each side of midline, posterior margin rounded. Genitalia. Median lobe ( Paśnik 2001: Figs 30-31) oval; apical process abruptly convergent at apex in ventral aspect.

Remarks.

This species was recorded by Paśnik (2001) in North Korea and a dissected specimen was unavailable. Accordingly, we could not describe the mouthparts and aedeagus in detail.
