Punctures on head dorsum fine and sparse, inconspicuous; setae short, sparse, suberect. Antennae ( Fig. 63) robust, gradually thickened distally, AnL 0.95 mm; antennomeres I–III strongly elongate, IV as long as broad, V–VI slightly longer than broad, VII–X each slightly transverse, XI 1.5 ×as long as broad. Pronotum ( Fig. 63) in dorsal view with large and subtriangular discal part broadest near anterior fourth of PL and short posterior collar demarcated by distinct lateral constriction, PL 0.48 mm, PW 0.39 mm; anterior and lateral margins of discal part confluent and rounded; posterior margin arcuate; hind pronotal corners indistinctly marked, blunt and obtuse; posterior collar dorsally indistinctly demarcated by shallow, narrow and arcuate transverse groove with deepened lateral parts running on pronotal sides and connecting very small and indistinct lateral ante-basal foveae located on sides of pronotum, groove extends at each end beyond lateral foveae nearly to adcoxal part of hypomeron; posterior collar in middle bearing indistinct and short median longitudinal ante-basal groove. Punctures on pronotal disc very fine and inconspicuous; setae long, sparse and recumbent to suberect. Elytra ( Fig. 63) oval and more convex than pronotum, broadest between middle and anterior third, EL 1.00 mm, EW 0.70 mm, EI 1.43; humeral calli distinct, developed as elongate protuberances; elytral apices separately rounded. Punctures on elytral disc more distinct than those on pronotum but shallow and sparse; setae moderately long, sparse and suberect. Hindwings well-developed, twice as long as elytra. Legs ( Fig. 63) long and slender; all tibiae straight or nearly straight. Aedeagus ( Figs. 72–73) stout, AeL 0.38 mm, median lobe subtrapezoidal, with abruptly and strongly narrowed apical part of dorsal wall forming long subtriangular projection; internal armature complicated, composed of submedially located central complex and sub-apical lateral groups of short needle-like sclerites projecting distally from median lobe; parameres slender, each with two long apical setae.  Female.Unknown.   Distribution. New Zealand: North Island.
