Notes on variation: Until now only one male and one female of the species were known. The examination of 11 additional specimens (four of them severely damaged and represented only by broken body parts) allows to provide some additions to the variation range of some characters given in the original description supplemented by JAEGER (2016: 221). Measurements and ratios (based on 4 males and 6 females) show the following variation: Body length: 3.8-4.2, body width: 1.4-1.5 mm. Width of head/width of pronotum: 0.87-0.89, width of head/width of head between eyes: 1.81-1.97, width of pronotal base/maximum width of pronotum: 0.76-0.81, width of pronotum/length of pronotum: 1.17-1.23, width of elytra/width of pronotum: 1.33-1.47, length of elytra/length of pronotum: 2.72-2.93, length of elytra/width of elytra: 1.65-1.73.
