Measurements and ratios: BL 3.3–3.9. Holotype: HL 0.59, HW 0.61, PL 0.63, PW 0.67, EL 1.24, EW 1.20, HL/HW 0.97, HW/PW 0.91, PL/PW0.94.
Habitus as in Fig. 1. Black, mouth-parts, antennae and legs uniformly rufo-testaceous. Each elytron with a dark red subhumeral macula. Pubescence pale, evident and recumbent on whole body.
Head sub-triangular, coarsely and sparsely punctate, widest across eyes and slightly broader across compound eyes than long; vertex moderately depressed; eyes prominent; ocelli distinct, distance between them slightly larger than that from lateral margin of each ocellus to mesal margin of eye; postocular margins about half length of longitudinal diameter of eye; antennae moderately long, overlapping base of pronotum by two terminal segments when pulled posteriad; antennomeres I broad at middle, antennomeres II much shorter and narrower than I, antennomeres III–XI gradually thickened; relative length of each antennomere from base to apex as 10 : 6 : 7.5 : 6.5 : 5.5 : 5.5 : 6 : 5.5 : 6.5 : 6 : 12.
Pronotum subcordate, moderately convex, widest near anterior third, slightly wider than head; lateral margins arcuate at anterior two-thirds and nearly straight at posterior third; punctation and pubescence similar to those on head; disc with shallow U-shaped depressed area. Scutellum subtriangular, surface with fine punctation and pubescence.
Elytra subtrapezoidal, gradually dilated posteriorly, posterior angles broadly rounded; punctation and pubescence distinctly finer and sparser than those on pronotum.
Abdomen broad, widest at segment IV (first visible abdominal segment), then distinctly narrowed posteriorly. Tergites with dense, fine punctation and decumbent pubescence; tergites IV–V each provided with one pair of tomentose admesal patches.
Male. Sternite VIII transverse, posterior margin broadly emarginate. Aedeagus (Figs 3–5) length 0.33 mm; median lobe narrow and much shorter than parameres, gradually narrowed apically; parameres symmetrical, each distinctly roundly broadened in apical half, with four long apical setae.
Female. Protarsomeres I–IV not dilated. Otherwise similar to male.
