HOLOTYPE. Male: length 16.7 mm, width
8.3 mm. Color of dorsal surface olive green;
pronotum, scutellum, and elytron margins
yellow; elytral intervals 3 and 5 with weak,
yellowish-green longitudinal stripes. Ventral
surface yellow to light green, metasternum
olive green with large medial brown patch.
Body ovate, convex. Head: Dorsal surface glabrous.
Frons densely punctate, clypeus
rugopunctate. Frons not depressed. Frontoclypeal
suture complete. Clypeal apex broadly
rounded. Eyes separated by approximately
5.3 transverse eye-widths. Labrum moderately
punctate, with moderately large, setose
punctures, setae tawny. Apex of labrum with
weak, triangular, medial tooth, apex of tooth
well separated from apex of mentum. Apex of
mentum with medial notch. Antenna 9-segmented;
club slightly shorter than segments
2-6, slightly shorter than frons. Pronotum:
Surface glabrous, moderately to densely punctate,
with moderate punctures. Marginal bead
weak laterally, absent apically and basally.
Elytron: Surface glabrous; longitudinal striae
weakly impressed, weakly punctate; punctures
moderate; intervals sparsely punctate.
Sutural apex angled, without spine. Pygidium:
Width approximately 1.8 times
length medially. Surface weakly convex,
sparsely punctate; punctures moderate, setose
(along apical margin); setae tawny. Venter:
Thorax moderately setose (sparsely setose
medially), setae tawny. Mesothoracic process
weakly projecting anteriorly past mesocoxa;
shape conical. Abdomen sparsely setose, setae
tawny. Apical spiracles extruding, cylindrical.
Legs: Protibia with 3 subequal in size teeth in
apical half. Mesotibia and metatibia widest
apically. Protarsomeres 2-4 wider than long,
cup-shaped. Protarsomere 4 with weak, apical
stridulatory ridge. Protarsomere 5 with
internomedial tooth. Mesotarsomere and
metatarsomere 5 without internal swelling.
Prounguitractor plate cylindrical, with 2 subapical
setae. Mesounguitractor plate, metaunguitractor
plate cylindrical; with 1 apical,
1 subapical seta. Modified protarsal claw with
length approximately equal to protarsomere
5, greatly thickened and elongate when compared
with other claw, dorsoventrally flattened,
apex unevenly bifurcate. Modified
mesotarsal and metatarsal claw elongate,
with weak ventral tooth, not thickened.
