Scale bars: mm. Head approximately as long as broad or weakly oblong; punctation coarse and relatively sparse; interstices with distinct microreticulation, on average broader than diam- eter of punctures. Eyes not projecting from lateral contours of head, small, composed of approximately ten ommatidia. Pronotum times as long as broad and slight- ly narrower than head, weakly tapering posteriad; punc- tation finer than, and of similar density as that of head; interstices without microsculpture. Elytra short, times as long as pronotum; humeral angles weakly marked; punctation shallow; in- terstices without distinct microsculpture. Hind wings com- pletely reduced. Metatibia somewhat compressed. Abdomen broader than elytra; punctation moderately fine and dense; posterior margin of tergite VII without pal- isade fringe; posterior margin of tergite VIII weakly con- vex in both sexes. S: protarsomeres I-IV strongly dilated; stemite VII with extensive and distinct impression, this impression with nu- merous modified setae, posterior margin broadly concave, in the middle with additional concavity (Fig. 118); stem- ite VIII narrowly and distinctly impressed along the mid- dle, this impression with numerous luodified, short and stout setae, posterior excision V-shaped and moderately deep, on either side of this incision with acute projections (Fig. 119); aedeagus min long, ventral process long and apically hooked, dorsal plate strongly sclerotised, in- ternal sac with sclerotised internal structure (Figs 120-121). $: protarsomeres I-IV dilated, but distinctly less so than in male; ste
