Male: abdomen (Fig. 162) with sternite V modified, bearing median subtriangular transverse carina; metatibia (Fig. 161) strongly thickened in subapical region; aedeagus (Figs 163–164) in ventral view broadest in sub-basal region, apex of capsular region of median lobe subtriangular, distally rounded, apical projection strongly recurved, with narrowly rounded apex situated far from long axis of aedeagus and close to apex of capsular region of median lobe.</p><p><b>Description.</b> Body of male (Fig. 161) strongly convex, oval, with distinct constriction between pronotum and elytra, moderately dark brown with lighter tarsi, covered with light brown setae.
