Description. Male ( Fig. 5 View FIGURES 1 – 19. 1 ). Entirely ferruginous, covered with dense, yellow-fulvous vestiture.

Frons ( Fig. 6 View FIGURES 1 – 19. 1 ) deeply impressed before strongly and uniformly thickened anterior margin, nearly straight, directed forwards and well protruding above clypeus, puncturation coarse, with punctures more or less clearly umbilicate with very short intervals or contiguous.

Antennae ( Fig. 7 View FIGURES 1 – 19. 1 ) exceeding apices of posterior angles of pronotum by 1.5 antennomeres, serrated from fourth antennomere on, second subcylindrical, 1.5× longer than wide, third subconical, 1.5× longer than wide and 1.2× longer than second; second and third, taken together, 1.2× longer than fourth; fourth to tenth triangular, on average from 1.7 to 2× longer than wide; last longer than penultimate, with subparallel sides, constricted at apex.

Pronotum as long as wide, widest at posterior angles, very convex on disk, abruptly sloping at sides and base; sides from base to apex nearly regularly narrowing, posterior angles short, not divergent and not carinate, lateral margins complete and totally visible on dorsal view; puncturation coarse and uniformly distributed, punctures deep, simple or vaguely umbilicate with very short, shiny intervals.

Scutellum shield-shaped, convex, punctured.

Elytra 2.64× longer than pronotum and as wide, convex; sides subparallel from base to middle, slightly dilated behind middle and regularly narrowing to apices; striae well marked and deeply punctured, interstriae subconvex with very fine and dense punctures.

Aedeagus as in Fig. 72 (length 1.37 mm).

Female unknown.

Size. Length 8.7 mm; width 2.31 mm.
