Type material. Holotype, male, BRAZIL: BRASIL, PR, Ponta Grossa; Parque Nacional dos Campos Gerais; - 25,101; 49973; 14-15.xi.2015; Nascimento, E.A., Biffi, G., Prado, L. R., Ray, A. col. (DZUP). Paratypes: same data, 1 male, 1 female (DZUP).
Diagnosis: Eye diameter 1.7× longer than interocular distance. Maxillary palpomere 2 almost twice longer than 3. Pronotum 1.3× wider than long, median longitudinal carina at apical 1/3 bifurcating medially forming areola mostly at posterior 2/3, connected to the posterior margin by a very short carina (Fig. 1). Elytra dark brown with median transversal band yellow increasing in thickness towards marginal costae (Fig. 2). Phallus curved in lateral view, apex with sharp and slightly curved apical dorsally-oriented projections and apex almost conical ventrally-oriented (Fig. 7a, b); parameres medially constricted in ventral view (Fig. 8), apically rounded with three ventral subapical thorns (Fig. 7c).
Description: Maxillary palpomere 1 and basal half of palpomere 2 yellow. Trochanters yellow, basal 1/4 of median femur yellow. Pronotum dark brown with lateral sides and anterior margin yellow (Fig. 1). Elytra dark brown with humeral portion yellow, and a median transversal band yellow increasing in thickness towards marginal costae (Fig. 2).
Eye diameter 1.7× longer than interocular distance in male. Male antennomeres 3−5 almost of the same length. Maxillary palpomere 2 as long as 4 and almost twice longer than 3. Pronotum 1.3× wider than long, median longitudinal carina bifurcating in anterior 1/3 forming areola mostly at posterior 2/3, connected to posterior margin by a very short carina (Fig. 1). Prosternum trapezoidal, mesoventrite trapezoidal. Elytra 4× longer than humeral width in male, 3.7× longer than humeral width in female, and intercostal intervals with irregular cells. Hind femora 3× longer than trochanter length. Male genitalia with short phallus, curved in lateral view, strongly bent dorsally, with sharp and slightly curved apical dorsally-oriented projections (Fig. 7a) and apex almost conical ventrally-oriented (Fig. 7b); parameres elongate, 1.1× longer than phallus length, ventrally bent towards the apex in lateral view, medially constricted in ventral view, apically rounded with three ventral subapical thorns (Fig. 7c) and joined basally by a ring-like bridge, phallobase slightly asymmetrical and as long as half of parameres length (Figs. 7–8). Female genitalia with short valvifers forming thin ventral bridge, coxites long, medially arcuately emarginate, styli as long as valvifers (Fig. 17). Body length: 6.3−6.8 mm (males), 6.0 (female), humeral width: 1.5−1.6 mm (males), 1.4 (female).
