than clypeal length; elytron with a distinct
yellow suture; elytral apices not capable of
completely covering the pygidium; protibia in
males with 2 prominent teeth; protibial spur
noticeably shorter than the adjacent tibial
apex; mesotarsomere 4 and metatarsomere 4
in males without an apical stridulatory ridge;
protarsomere 5 in males with an internal
stridulatory patch, without an internal tooth;
mesotarsomere 5 and metatarsomere 5 with
an internobasal tooth; parameres with the
