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 />
