Holotype male. Color. Integument dark brown, almost black, except for scape, distal third of pedicel, distal quarter of antennomeres III–IV, basal two-thirds of antennomeres V–VII, basal third of antennomere VIII, most of gulamentum, most of peduncle of meso- and metafemora, and basal half of tibiae which are brown; basal three-quarters of antennomeres III–IV reddish-brown. Head. Frons trapezoidal; finely, densely punctate, interspersed with coarse, sparse punctures; with white pubescence, not completely concealing integument. Area between antennal tubercles and upper eye lobes concave; moderately coarsely, abundantly punctate; pubescence white, mixed with yellowish white pubescence. Antennal tubercles finely, abundantly punctate; with white pubescence mixed with yellowish white pubescence. Dorsal area between eyes and anterior edge of prothorax coarsely punctate; pubescence very sparse, slightly more conspicuous around coronal suture. Coronal suture distinct from clypeus to anterior edge of prothorax. Area behind eyes with white pubescence (more yellowish depending on angle of incidence of light). Genae with yellowish white pubescence, sparser under lower eye lobe. Distance between upper eye lobes, in frontal view, equal to 0.45 times length of scape; distance between lower eye lobes equal to 0.80 times length of scape. Antennae as long as 1.7 times elytral length, reaching elytral apex at apex of antennomere VIII; scape, pedicel and lighter areas of antennomeres III–VIII with white pubescence, not obliterating integument; antennal formula based on antennomere III: scape = 0.59; pedicel = 0.22; IV = 0.94; V = 0.59; VI = 0.54; VII = 0.50; VIII = 0.44; IX = 0.42; X = 0.37; XI = 0.35. Thorax. Prothorax transverse, largest width 1.4 times central length. Pronotum, moderately finely, abundantly punctate; anterior and posterior transverse sulcus wide, moderately deep; central pubescence white, very sparse; wide lateral band of yellowish brown pubescence mixed with white, not reaching anterior and posterior margin, adjacent to wide band of white pubescence. Lateral sides of prothorax with punctures denser than on pronotum; with long, sparse, dark setae on basal half; pubescence whitish, distinctly not concealing integument. Ventral surface with whitish pubescence, not obliterating integument; on metasternum, in front of mesocoxal cavities and mesosternal process, narrow band of white, dense pubescence. Scutellum with sparse white and yellowish brown pubescence. Elytra. Moderately coarsely, abundantly punctate; elongate, with lateral sides sub-parallel at basal two-thirds; apex narrow, individually rounded; short, elongate band of yellowish brown pubescence on each side of scutellum, internally margined with white; above humeri, small spot of yellowish brown pubescence; remaining surface of basal two-thirds with white pubescence, forming designs (Fig. 1), but mostly glabrous; distal third with sinuous, wide band of yellowish brown pubescence, margined with white pubescence (Fig. 1). Abdomen. Urosternites finely, densely punctate; pubescence whitish, not obliterating integument; on urosternite I, between metacoxal cavities, narrow, dense, V-shaped band of white pubescence. Legs. Femora and tibiae with white, not dense pubescence. Club of metafemora not notably enlarged. Dimensions in mm (male/female). Total length, 6.05/7.05; length of prothorax at center, 1.30/1.60; anterior width of prothorax, 1.50/1.90; posterior width of prothorax, 1.55/1.80; humeral width, 2.25/2.75; elytral length, 4.55/5.25. Variability. Paratype female. Peduncle of meso- and metafemora dark-brown. Antennae as long as 1.6 times elytral length; reaching elytral apex at apex of antennomere IX.
