Diagnosis: Body somewhat elongated ( Fig. 221 View FIGURES 216–221 ); smooth, black intense and bright tegument, particularly in the ventral side. Head ( Fig. 35 View FIGURES 1–35 ) shaped as in Tentyria platyceps Steven , subtriangular epistome slightly protruding forward, provided with a tooth at the middle; punctures quite fine but perceptible, not confluent and greater that in the pronotum; sub-right and transverse, well defined, broad and deep gular groove ( Fig. 69 View FIGURES 36–69 ), but not as deep than in T. platyceps ; pronotum ( Fig. 105 View FIGURES 88–105 ) moderately transverse and convex, sided curved and narrowed towards the base, barely rounded and prolonged backward; posterior angles obtuse but discernible, punctures very fine and sparse; prosternal apophysis ( Fig. 140 View FIGURES 106–140 ) long and narrow, with the extreme bent upward in ventral view and surpassing backwards the level of procoxae. Protibiae not showing sexual dimorphism, with the margin right and progressively widened to the apex; elytra convex, smooth, punctures very fine, even more that in the pronotum, ovate and elongate, and almost as narrowed at the base as at the apex. Abdominal sternites smooth and bright, last urosternite with the apex bifid ( Fig. 153 View FIGURES 141–153 ). The aedeagus ( Fig. 185 View FIGURES 172–185 ) is small, with the parameres slightly strangled at the base and very curved in lateral view, conspicuously shorter and more curved than the phallobase.
