Description. Body length 4.5 mm. Integument of head and pronotum matt, of elytra somewhat shining, blackish. Head short and round, length from cervical constriction to clypeus 0.8x as maximal width between genae, slightly rounded from cervical constriction to eyes, genae surpassing eyes and with feeble longitudinal impression, this impression continuing to feeble supraorbital impression, anterior margin of clypeus slightly excavated, symmetrical, frons without medial keel or impression, surface with dense but not confluent punctures, punctures diminishing on clypeus, punctures without setae. Eyes reduced, divided by genae into dorsal and ventral sections, dorsal section longitudinal, composed only of few facets, ventral section nearly invisible, composed only of 2–3 facets. Antennae 11-segmented, robust, shape of antennomeres as in Fig. 1 View FIGURES 1–6 , antennomere 2 1.0x as wide as long, antennomere 3 1.4x as wide as long. Pronotum cordiform, 0.6x as long as wide, widest at elevated large, rounded anterior corners, posterior corners rounded and posterior margin nearly straight, disc without keels or impressions, punctures as on head and also without setation, lateral margins unbordered in posterior half; prothoracic hypomera with similar punctures as on pronotum, without setation. Elytra oval, widest at middle, 1.7x as long as wide, humeral angles extremely developed, without tooth, rounded, elevated, scutellar area distinctly excavated, elytra without rows of punctures or keels, without setation, lateral margins keel-like, elevated in anterior half, epipleura extremely broad in anterior half below large humeral angles, without row of punctures. Ventrites with extremely fine punctures, without setation, last ventrite without denser, larger punctures than anterior ventrites, surface of all ventrites shagreened.Aedeagus as in Fig. 7 View FIGURES 7–12 , with long parallel apicale with rounded apex, basale long, narrow.
