Comments on the original description. The text is extremely short and contains only information on the general shape of the head, eye, metanepisternum, pronotum and elytra, which is insufficient for determining the specific, generic and tribal identity of this specimen. The differential diagnosis is based mainly on the shape of metanepisternum, without any explanation why this character is considered to be of specific and not of generic or sexual value. For comments on taxonomic value of this structure see Discussion below.
