HOLOTYPE. Male: length 26.9 mm, width<br />

16.8 mm. Color light green with yellow head<br />

margin near eye, elytron, pronotum, scutellum<br />

margins, elytral stria 1. Body ovate,<br />

strongly convex. Head: Dorsal surface glabrous.<br />

Frons densely punctate, clypeus<br />

rugopunctate, punctures small or moderate.<br />

Frons not depressed. Frontoclypeal suture<br />

incomplete, absent medially. Clypeus trapezoidal.<br />

Eyes separated by approximately <strong>4.5</strong><br />

transverse eye-widths. Labrum sparsely<br />

punctate, with moderately large, setose punctures,<br />

setae tawny. Apex <strong>of</strong> labrum with triangular,<br />

medial tooth; apex <strong>of</strong> tooth broadly<br />

truncate, extending past apex <strong>of</strong> mentum (as<br />

in Fig. 2). Apex <strong>of</strong> mentum with triangular<br />

medial tooth curved into oral cavity. Antenna<br />

10-segmented; club slightly shorter than<br />

other segments combined, slightly shorter<br />

than length <strong>of</strong> frons. Pronotum: Surface glabrous,<br />

densely punctate, with small or moderate<br />

punctures. Marginal bead weak<br />

apicolaterally, absent elsewhere. Elytron: Surface<br />

glabrous; longitudinal striae weakly<br />

punctate, punctures moderate with dark coloration;<br />

intervals densely punctate, punctures<br />

small. Suture angled apically, without<br />

spine. Pygidium: Width approximately 3.0<br />

times length medially. Surface weakly convex,<br />

moderately to densely punctate; punctures<br />

moderate, glabrous except near apex; setae<br />

short, tawny. Venter: Thorax moderately setose,<br />

setae white. Mesothoracic process<br />

strongly produced, projecting anteriorly past<br />

protrochanter; shape conical-elongate, apex<br />

rounded, dorsoventrally flattened (as in Fig.<br />

8). Abdomen glabrous. Apical spiracles not<br />

extruding. Legs: Protibia with 3 subequal in<br />

size teeth in apical half; apical tooth longer.<br />

Mesotibia and metatibia widest medially.<br />

Protarsomeres 2-4 wider than long, cupshaped.<br />

Protarsomere 4 with internoapical<br />

stridulatory ridge. Protarsomere 5 with<br />

internomedial stridulatory tooth. Mesotarsomere<br />

and metatarsomere 5 without internal<br />

tooth. Prounguitractor plate cylindrical, with<br />

2 subapical setae. Mesounguitractor plate<br />

and metaunguitractor plate cylindrical, with<br />

2 apical setae. Modified protarsal claw with<br />

length approximately equal to protarsomere<br />

5, thickened and elongate when compared<br />

with other claw, laterally flattened, apex unevenly<br />

bifurcate with 1 bifurcation twisted<br />

beneath the other in ventral view (as in Fig.<br />

13). Modified mesotarsal and metatarsal<br />

claws elongated with ventral tooth, not thickened.<br />

ALLOTYPE. Female: length 29.5 mm, width<br />

17.0 mm. As male except in the following respects.<br />

Head: Antennal club shorter than segments<br />

2-7. Legs: Protarsomere 4 without<br />
