Description Habitus as in Fig. 46 View Figs 46-50 . Body length 1.05-1.13 mm. Body including appendages uniformly medium brown, glossy, hair fairly dense, long, and slightly erect. Head glossy, unpunctured, with large but laterally only slightly protruding eyes. Antennal segment 1 short, 2 distinct, 3 to 7 hardly longer than wide, 7 enlarged, 8 small and rounded, and the club strongly set off from it. Pronotum wider than long (1.27:1), glossy with quite dense fine punctation and distinctly rugose towards the base, greatest width just before the middle, rounded from here to the front, almost straight converging towards the rear, with a suggested humped elevation before the base. Elytra narrower than long (1:1.3), glossy and with much coarser, rugose, but equally dense punctation as the pronotum. Greatest width before the middle, sides more strongly rounded towards the front, less so towards the rear. The elytra are scarcely wider than the pronotum. The round basal foveae are flattened towards the sides, the tomentose tufts are very small and located at the inner anterior edge. In males, the fore tibiae are slightly thickened in the apical half and indented on the inner side ( Fig. 49 View Figs 46-50 ). Underside: ♁ with metaventrite deeply impressed, glossy, finely and extensively punctured in the centre, slightly coarser but denser towards the edges, and becoming equally widespread on the outer sides. Sparsely but long-haired ( Fig. 48 View Figs 46-50 ). Genitalia: Length 0.25 mm. Dorsal Fig. 47 View Figs 46-50 and 83 View Figs 79-87 , lateral Fig. 50 View Figs 46-50 .
