Description. Whole body dark brown, except antennomeres 10 and 11 yellow and longitudinal humeral stripes in anterior 5/6 of elytra ( Fig. 1 ). Distance between eyes 1.5× longer than maximal eye diameter. Maxillary and labial palpi largely dark brown, only distal part of terminal palpomeres yellow, terminal palpomeres elongate. Antennomere 3 and 4 of equal length ( Fig. 7 ). Pronotum ( Fig. 4 ) 1.5× wider than long, anterior margin arcuate anteriorly, lateral margins strongly emarginate, posterior margin bisinuate, 1.5× longer than anterior margin. Elytra 3.5× longer than wide in humeral portion. Male genitalia ( Figs. 9–10 ) with phallus constricted medially, parameres as long as 2/5 of phallus, phallobase as long as parameres.
