Diagnosis.
This species can be distinguished from other Chinese species by the dark bluish green color of the head, pronotum, and elytra.
Redescription.
Male. Length 4.4-4.8 mm, width 2.6-3.0 mm.
Head, pronotum, scutellum, and ventral surface of body green, antennae and legs brown, elytra dark bluish green with apex cupreous.
Vertex covered with several large punctures. Interocular space 2.3 × as wide as transverse diameter of eye. Interantennal space 1.4 × as wide as transverse diameter of antennal socket. Frontal tubercles transverse, each separated by a deep furrow; antennae slender, 0.85 × as long as body; antennomeres 1-3 shiny; antennomeres 4-11 covered with pubescence, antennomere 2 shortest, antennomere 3 approximately 1.6 × as long as second; antennomere 4 longest, approximately 1.2 × as long as antennomeres 2 and 3 combined; antennomeres 5-10 gradually shortened, shorter than antennomere 4; antennomere 11 slightly longer than antennomere 10, pointed.
Pronotum approximately 1.6 × as wide as long, lateral border margined, widest at anterior 1/3, disc with transverse furrow, finely covered with punctures, only with several large punctures in furrow.
Scutellum triangular, smooth, impunctate.
Elytra wider than pronotum, 0.8 × as long as body, 1.65 × as long as wide, epipleura wide at anterior 1/3, posteriorly gradually narrowing towards apex, dorsal surface slightly convex, regularly covered with punctures, partially arranged in ten rows in each elytron, interstices between punctures approximately 3.5 × as wide as diameter of individual punctures and lightly covered with small punctures.
Metasternum 2 × as long as mesosternum. Ventral surface of abdomen with five ventrites, ventrite 1 longest, ventrites 2-4 gradually shortened, apical ventrite slightly longer than ventrite 3, with two subtriangular incisions.
Aedeagus slender, parallel-sided, basally widened, middle narrowed, apex pointed, in lateral view base and apex slightly bent.
Female. Length 4.4-5.0 mm, width 2.5-3.0 mm.
Antennae slightly thinner than in male, antennomere 2 shortest, antennomere 3 approximately 1.2 × as long as second; antennomere 4 longest, 1.5 × as long as antennomeres 2 and 3 combined; apical sternite without incisions.
