Color – Integument light brown; surface with white scales aggregated along the sides of pronotum and margins of elytra. Head – CW/L: 3; anterolateral edges of clypeus rounded, lateral edges of clypeus curved divergent posteriad; frons large, making eyes relatively small (F/O: 5.5); frons concave; antennal club slightly shorter than antennomeres 2-7 (A2-7/CL: 1.2). Pronotum – Transverse (PnW/L: 2.2), strongly convex; apical angles and lateral margins narrowly flattened, apical angles right, not protuberant; basal lateral margins curved, basal angles largely rounded. Elytra – With striae slightly visible among the scales but not elevated. Thoracic sterna – Surface with short, white pubescence and scales, mesosternum slightly developed anteriorly (MstL: 0.35 mm) however, visible between the mesocoxae in lateral view. Abdomen – Sternites with sparse scales except the median part of the eight sternite; pygidium convex with apical margin narrowly reflected. Legs – Protibiae tridentate with the basal tooth well developed; slender apical tooth as long as the middle tooth. Aedeagus – Parameres strongly asymmetric with four appendices (Figs 68-70).
