 sides straight; ridge medial extension acute, projecting 



(similar to Fig. 8c) . 



Pronotum microreticulate; puncture size = 1 x facet, 

 separated by 2 to 3 diameters. Scutellum pentagonal, length 

 = 0.4 x width. Each elytron strongly microreticulate, 

 dulled; strial punctures weak and obscure, distinct only at 

 base of stria V; interval punctures absent. 



Prosternum strongly keeled and broadly pinched 

 anteriorly, projecting, pinch blunt and truncate in ventral 

 view, covering mentum when head turned ventrally; few 

 foveate punctures in front of procoxa; coxal lines straight, 

 length = 0.5 x sternal length, lines barely surpassing 

 coxae, line length = basal width; prosternal plate weakly 

 convex, apical width = 0.5 x basal width; base slightly 

 concave . 



Mesosternum basal width = 3 x length lines; lines 

 straight; base sinuate. Metasternum coxal lines recurved, 

 meeting medially; coxal line extends 0.33 distance to 

 posterior lateral angle; sternum without medial punctures, 

 coarse lateral punctures weakly impressed. 



First visible abdominal sternite with coxal lines 

 short, reaching 0.33 distance to posterior edge; rounded 

 between metacoxae; finely punctate medially, coarsely 

 punctate laterally. 



Genitalia not studied, lectotype not dissected. 



Presence of stridulatory files on occipital region of 

 head unknown (head retracted) .
