 Scutellum pentagonal, length = 0.6 x width. Each elytron 



with 7 complete striae; stria VIII present on apical half; 



strial punctures = 1.5 x pronotal disc puncture, gradually 



becoming finer posteriorly; intervals finely punctate, 



distinct . 



Prosternum keeled and pinched anteriorly; lacking 

 distinct punctures in front of procoxa; coxal lines 

 straight, length = 0.6 x sternal length, lines barely 

 surpassing coxae, length = basal width; prosternal plate 

 slightly convex, apical width = 0.6 x basal width; base 

 concave . 



Mesosternum basal width = 2 x mesocoxal line length; 

 coxal lines straight; base broadly sinuate. Metasternum 

 coxal lines meet at middle, weakly undulate, recurved; coxal 

 lines extend 0.33 to 0.5 distance to posterior lateral 

 angle; sternum shining, medial punctures fine, few coarse 

 lateral punctures weakly impressed. 



First visible abdominal sternite with coxal lines 

 reaching 0.5 distance to posterior edge; broadly rounded 

 between metacoxae; coarse punctures laterally, fine 

 punctures medially. 



Male genitalia with median lobe moderately arched, 

 narrowed and apically rounded; internal sac with speckled 

 surface midway between median lobe and flagellar base; 

 flagellum thick, gradually narrowing to apex, length = 1.2 x 

 median lobe length (Fig. 141a); base of flagellum thick, 

 sclerite at base claw-shaped (Fig. 141b-d) (1 dissected) .
