165 

 apical spot can connect with margin. Venter red and black, 



variable. Legs black or femur and tibia banded with red; 



tarsi and palpi brown; antenna brown, club black. 



Head dorsal distance between eyes = 2.4 x eye width; 

 ocular striae reaching anterior angle of eye; vertex 

 puncture size = 1 x facet, impressed, separated by 1 to 3 

 diameters; epistome puncture size = 0.5 to 0.75 x facet, 

 separated by 1 diameter. Antenna reaching middle of 

 pronotum; antennomere III as long as next 3 antennomere 

 combined; antennomere IX can be narrower than X; 

 antennomeres X to XI asymmetrical; antennomere XI 

 subcircular (Fig. 6c). 



Maxillary palp terminal segment triangular, securiform, 

 basally rounded, apical angles less than 90°, length = 0.5 x 

 width. Labial palp terminal segment elongate, extended on 

 medial side, rounded basally, length = 0.5 x width. Labial 

 palp width = 0.5 x maxillary palp width (Fig. 7c) . Mentum 

 with plate broadly triangular, length = 0.5 x width, sides 

 weakly concave, ridge medial extension acutely pointed (Fig. 

 8c) . 



Pronotum 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, 

 indicated by a few punctures on apical half; strial puncture 

 size = 2 x pronotal disc punctures; intervals finely 

 punctate .
