Holotype male (Figs 3, 9, 11). Body length 6.8 mm; greatest width 3.8 mm. Form ovate, sides subparallel. Dorsum of head, pronotum, interval 1 (sutural interval), and base of elytron black with elytral striae and remaining intervals brownish black to yellowish brown; round, brownish yellow markings located on lateral third of pronotum, 2 additional minor marking at sides of basal one-third of midline (Fig. 11); elytral markings across base of striae 1–8 and interval 9, shape transversely irregular (Fig. 3). Head: Labrum with anterior margin feebly triangularly concave centrally, sides notched. Clypeal apex trapezoidal with lateral border rounded (Fig. 9), anterior margin beaded, surface rugosely punctate, confluent or separated by less than 1 puncture diameter. Clypeofrontal suture absent. Vertex with an inconspicuous convexity of carina at middle of base, coarse punctures on surface same as those on clypeus, moderately distributed. Thorax: Outline of pronotum transverse, surface coarsely punctate along side of disc, moderately dense; midline moderately indented with well-defined, coarse punctures; area in front of elytral base impunctate with coarse punctures at anterior one-third of sides of midline (Fig. 9); disc gradually declined anteriorly when viewed laterally (Fig. 11). Metasternal process poorly developed, narrowly separating middle coxae with anterior margin beaded. Scutellum slightly longer than wide medially, surface with 5 coarse punctures and scattered secondary punctures,. Elytron: With 7 striae between suture and humeral umbone, stria 2 interrupted by stria 1 not reaching base, stria 5 terminating at basal one-ninth; width of interval 3 and 4 same at basal one-fifth with interval 2, 5 and 6 less convex than others (Figs 3, 11). Legs: Protibia with 10 distinct teeth on outer margin, apical 3 teeth protruding, tip of apical tooth curved outwardly. Male genitalia: Length 1.7 mm. Parameres (Figs 17–18) elongate, dorsal margin slightly declined at basal one-fifth, becoming more declivous at apical one-fourth (Fig. 21), well sclerotized laterally with apical part membranous, surface almost impunctate, glabrous; subequal in length to basal piece. Median lobe (Figs 17–18) trilobate; dorsal sclerite vertically bilobed with apex notched; lateral sclerites elongate, equal in length to dorsal sclerite, overall highly sclerotized, apex tufted with 4 robust setae (Fig. 22); supporting sclerites kidney-shaped, evenly sclerotized. Internal sac embedded in median lobe. Temones membranous, thin and elongate to apex of basal piece (Fig. 17). Basal piece with apical portion asymmetrical.
Paratype female (Fig. 4, 10, 12). Similar to holotype male with minor differences of lighter body color, secondary punctures on pronotum and scutellum, smaller eyes, larger brownish yellow marking of elytra and robust protibial teeth.
