Description. Body length: 5.2–6.2 mm; forebody length: 3.0– 3.3 mm.
Body ( Fig. 2 View FIGURES 1 – 12 ) elongate, brown, with labrum, coxae and two basal antennal segments reddish yellow; the remaining antennal segments, maxillary palpi and legs except for coxae yellow.
Head suborbicular, slightly longer than broad (length/width = 1.05); postocular portion 1.69 times as long as eye length; on disk intervals between punctures flat, not raised like carinae. Antennae slender, extending to basal 1/ 3 of pronotum; relative length of each segment from 1 to 11: 21.0: 6.0: 13.5: 10.5: 9.5: 9.5: 9.5: 8.5: 7.5: 7.0: 9.0; relative width of each segment from 1 to 11: 5.0: 3.5: 3.0: 3.0: 3.0: 3.0: 3.0: 3.0: 3.0:3.0: 4.0.
Pronotum convex and oval, longer than wide (length/width = 1.19), narrower (pronotum/head = 0.89) than and as long as head; prosternum with strong longitudinal median carina not reaching its anterior margin. Elytra as long as wide, distinctly shorter (elytra/pronotum = 0.82) and slightly narrower (elytra/pronotum = 0.97) than pronotum.
Abdomen with fine and faint microsculpture only on apical 1/3 of 7th tergite.
Male. Seventh sternite ( Fig. 18 View FIGURES 18 – 22 ) slightly and widely emarginate in the middle of posterior margin; 8th sternite ( Fig. 19 View FIGURES 18 – 22 ) widely and triangularly excised in the middle of posterior margin. Aedeagus ( Figs. 20–22 View FIGURES 18 – 22 ) distinctly sclerotized; median lobe in dorsal view distinctly bifurcate at apex, with pair of finger-like outward processes in apical 1/3, in lateral view curved ventrad subapically; dorso-lateral apophyses stout in basal half and much thinner in apical half, cone-shaped, projecting inwards at middle, extending beyond apex of median lobe.
Female. Seventh and 8th sternites simple.
Remarks. The present new species can be easily distinguished from all the known species of Nazeris by the distinct shape of the aedeagus, particularly the apically bifurcate median lobe and the cone-shaped dorso-lateral apophyses ( Fig. 20 View FIGURES 18 – 22 ).
Distribution. China (Zhejiang Prov.).
Etymology. The species name is the Latin adjective “ furcatus ” (forked) referring to the distinct shape of the median lobe.
