 broadly connected to suture and apex. Venter black except 



for the orange lateral prothorax and lateral abdominal 



sternites. Legs and antennae black; palpi and tarsi brown. 



Head dorsal distance between eyes = 3 x eye width; 

 ocular striae reaching 0.75 distance to anterior angle of 

 eye; vertex puncture size = 0.75 x facet, separated by 2 to 

 3 diameters; epistome puncture size = 0.75 x facet, 

 separated by 0.5 to 1.0 diameter. Antenna reaching basal 

 0.25 to 0.5 of pronotum; antennomere III as long as next 2 

 antennomere combined; antennomeres IX to XI symmetrical; 

 antennomere XI oval, transverse (similar to Fig. 6i) . 



Maxillary palp terminal segment triangular, sides 

 rounded, lateral angle acute, medial angle nearly 90°, width 

 = 2 x length (similar to Fig. 7j) . Labial palp terminal 

 segment triangular, angles nearly 90°, length = width 

 (similar to Fig. 7g) . Labial palp width = 0.33 x maxillary 

 palp width. Mentum with plate triangular, length = 0.8 x 

 width, all sides nearly equal in length, sides convex, ridge 

 medial extension pointed (similar to Fig. 8g) . 



Pronotal disc puncture size = 0.75 x facet, separated 

 by 2 to 3 diameters; lateral puncture size = 1 x facet, 

 separated by 1 to 2 diameters. Scutellum pentagonal, length 

 = 0.5 x width. Each elytron with 7 complete striae; stria 

 VIII weak, nearly complete; strial puncture size at base = 

 pronotal disc puncture, impressed, gradually becoming finer 

 posteriorly; intervals finely punctate, often obscured by 

 microreticulations .
