 black; tibia often apically red; tarsi brownish or black; 



rarely legs entirely black. 



Head dorsal distance between eyes = 2.0-2.3 x eye 

 width; ocular striae reaching 0.5-0.75 distance to anterior 

 angle of eye, continued forward as row of punctures; vertex 

 puncture size = 0.75-1.0 x facet, separated by 1-2 

 diameters; epistome puncture size = 0.5 x facet, separated 

 by 0.5-1 diameter. Antenna reaching basal 0.25 of pronotum; 

 antennomere III as long as next 3 antennomere combined; 

 antennomere IX narrowed and angled at base, almost 

 triangular; antennomeres X-XI asymmetrical; antennomere XI 

 rounded, transverse (similar to Fig. 6c). 



Maxillary palp terminal segment triangular, securiform, 

 basally rounded, angles less than 90°, width = 2 x length. 

 Labial palp terminal segment elongate, extended on medial 

 side, rounded basally, width = 2 x length. Labial palp 

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

 with plate triangular, all sides equal in length, ridge 

 medial extension acutely pointed (similar to Fig. 8d) . 



Pronotum puncture size = 0.75-1.0 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 at base and apical half by few punctures; 

 strial punctures at base slightly larger in size than 

 pronotal disc punctures, gradually becoming smaller 

 apically; intervals finely punctate, often obscured by 

 microreticulations .
