Redescription

(based on female sex). Habitus. Body semi-elongate, moderately convex (Fig. 13); tegument wholly glabrous (excl. antennomeres 4-11), smooth, only disc of head moderately punctate and wrinkled. Measurements (data for paratype in parentheses brackets). BL: 8.5 (8.2) mm; BW: 3.65 (3.6) mm. Ratios. PW/HW: 1.39 (1.5); PW/PL: 1.24 (1.37); PbW/PaW: 1.34 (1.31); EW/PW: 1.59 (1.54); EL/EW: 1.38 (1.28). Color. Head and pronotum dark with strong bluish reflection, elytra mostly blackish with slight bluish color, with oblique yellow apical band (starting externally at apical fourth of elytron and directed obliquely to apical ninth of suture), mouthparts and femora dark reddish, tibia and tarsi red-yellow, palpi, antennomeres 1-3 and base of antennomere 4 yellowish, antennomeres 4-11 blackish. Microsculpture. Isodiametric on whole dorsal and most of ventral surface of body, transverse on prosternum medially and prosternal process, meso- and metacoxa, and metatrochanter. Lustre. Dorsal and ventral surfaces shiny. Head. Slightly narrower with respect to pronotum; disc moderately punctate and slightly wrinkled laterally, with a pair of supraorbital setae, frontal furrows indistinct; eyes fairly large, very prominent, with vertical diameter longer than length of antennomere 1, tempora minute; clypeus punctate, subtrapezoid, with distinct clypeal suture, anterior margin slightly concave and two pores remote from anterior margin at distance as long as two diameters of pores; labrum subrectangular, with straight anterior margin and six setae removed back from margin, four medial setae closer to each other than to lateral setae; mandibles moderately large, pointed and hooked at apex; maxillae not exceeding mandibles, maxillary palpi considerably longer than labial palpi, with glabrous and elongate palpomeres, terminal palpomere slightly fusiform, palpomere 2 longer than 4; labium not fused, with distinct suture between mentum and submentum, mentum emarginate, with two setae, distinct labial pits, anterior margin bordered, median tooth large, simple, widely rounded at tip, and short epilobes, exceeding mentum tooth anteriorly; submentum with four long setae, two basal and two lateral, distance between two basal setae at least three times longer than distance between basal and lateral seta, basal setae longer than lateral ones and as long as transverse length of mentum; ligula broadened apically, its anterior margin with two long ventral setae, paraglossae slightly exceeding ligula in front, labial palpi elongate, glabrous, terminal palpomere slightly fusiform, penultimate palpomere slightly shorther than terminal one; antennae filiform, with antennomeres 1-3 and base of 4 glabrous, stipes 1.1 times longer than antennomere 3, with dorsal seta distally, pedicel with one ventral seta, antennomere 3 with six apical setae. Pronotum. Semi-round to semi-rectangular, moderately transverse, wider than long, widest before middle, margins with fine border throughout; disc slightly convex, smooth, midline finely impressed, longer than half pronotal length, not reaching anterior and posterior margins; sides more rounded anteriorly than posteriorly, without lateral setae, with laterobasal setae; anterior margin slightly concave, shorter than posterior margin, anternior angles round, not prominent; posterior margin convex laterally and concave medially, posterior angles briefly rounded; basal impressions faint, sublinear, parallel. Elytra. Oval, widest at middle, with convex disc; basal margin complete, touching parascutellar striola; sides regularly rounded from middle towards base and apex; shoulder broadly rounded, without denticle; striae linear, impunctate, and moderately impressed for most of length, 1-7 becoming punctiform and obliterated in apical fifth to fourth; striae 5-7 obliterated basally; stria 8 deeper than other striae throughout (Figs 14-15); parascutellar striola distinct, long, situated between suture and stria 1; intervals wide, flat and smooth throughout; intervals 7 and 8 separate (not fused) apically (Figs 15-16); interval 9 transformed into marginal gutter at anterior two fifths of elytra, distinct on posterior three fifths (Figs 14-15); marginal gutter ended at preapical sinuation, before apex of elytron (Fig. 16); parascutellar pore present, inside stria 1, close to meeting point of striae 1 and 2, discal punctures in interval 3 lacking, stria 7 with two punctures before apex, umbilicate series with 15-16 pores. Hind wings. Well-developed. Ventral surface (thorax and abdomen). Sternal part of thorax and abdomen smooth and shiny; intercoxal process of prosternum unbordered, prosternal keel moderately protruding posteriorly; mesosternum concave; metepisternum longer than wide, slightly narrowed behind, laterally coadunate with elytral epipleuron, with medial margin longer than anterior one, lateral margin longer than both anterior and medial margins. Abdomen with pair of ambulatory setae on sterna 4-5, sternum 6 with pair of marginal pores, each pore removed proximally from apical margin a distance about twice as long as diameter of pore. Legs. Long and fairly slender; procoxa without seta, mesocoxa with single posterior seta, metacoxa with anterior pore; pro- and mesotrochanter with one distal seta, metatrochanter without seta; profemur anterior, ventral and posterior faces glabrous, dorsal face with three-four short setae in distal half; mesofemur anterior face with five short and thick setae, ventral and posterior faces glabrous, dorsal face with 16-18 short, thick setae arranged in two rows; metafemur glabrous or with single pore on dorsal surface; protarsomere 1 longer than 2 and 3 combined, meso- and metatarsomere 1 as long as 2 and 3 combined, tarsomere 5 of all legs with two-four pairs of fine setae ventrally. Male genitalia. Unknown. Female genitalia. Ovipositor consists of valvifer and stylomere (Figs 17-18); distal margin of valvifer with some long setae; basal stylomere subconical, its ventral surface with 10-11 thin setae directed to apical stylomere, two medial setae rather short, others long (some of lateral setae longer than half length of apical stylomere); apical stylomere subelongate, nearly twice as narrow as basal stylomere, with 11 short, subtriangular, moderately chitinized ensiform setae (3 dorsomedial and 8 dorsolateral) and two thin nematiform setae, nearly twice as long as ensiform setae.
