Diagnostic description.

Holotype, male (Fig. 1a). Length 3.14 mm. Color of legs and antennae ferruginous; remainder black. Body elongate; in dorsal aspect with marked constriction between pronotum and elytron; in profile dorsally convex. Rostrum with median and pair of submedian ridges; intervening furrows each with sparse row of erect piliform scales; epistome with indistinct, transverse, subangulate ridge. Pronotum with indistinct subapical constriction; disk densely punctate, interspaces microreticulate; with recumbent to erect piliform scales. Elytra with striae indistinct, marked by fine lines and rows of small punctures; intervals flat, weakly microreticulate, with rows of small punctures; with sparse, recumbent setae, bordering basal margin with long suberect piliform scales; interval 7 in apical quarter forming lateral edge; sutural interval forming pair of apical protrusions dorsal of truncate elytral apex concealed from above. Femora edentate; anteroventral ridge weakly crenulate. Metafemur subapically with stridulatory patch. Dorsal edge of metatibia in basal third denticulate; mesotibia with subbasal angulation extended as acute tooth. Abdominal ventrites 1-2 concave, subglabrous; ventrite 5 at middle with shallow pit. Penis (Fig. 1b) with sides of body weakly concave; apex rounded; transfer apparatus thick flagelliform, 2.0 × longer than body; apodemes 2.1 × as long as body; ductus ejaculatorius without bulbus. Intraspecific variation. Length 2.74-3.14 mm. Female rostrum with median and pair of submedian glabrous costae; epistome simple. Integument of females with microreticulation less distinct, piliform scales shorter and sparser. Female elytral apex slightly shorter, sutural intervals forming pair of tubercles. Female abdominal ventrites 1-2 flat, ventrite 5 flat.
