All specimens in this study were dissected to examine the genital structures. Extracted genital structures were dehydrated in absolute alcohol, mounted in Canada balsam on celluloid micro-slides, and pinned with the specimen from which they originated. Images of the entire body and the genital structures were taken using an image processing system (Nikon SMZ 1500 stereoscopic microscope; Nikon Digital Camera DXM 1200F, and Adobe Photoshop software).
Morphological terminology mainly follows that used by
Body slender, narrow, linear, small, length 1.0–1.7 mm; pubescence on pronotum and elytra directed laterad; head subquadrate with angular posterior tempora, as long and at least as wide as pronotum; eyes shorter than length of temples; antennomeres V-X strongly transverse and slightly incrassate apically, pronotum small, subquadrate or 1.2 times as wide as long, broadest subapically, pubescence directed anteriad and laterad from midline of disc; elytra short, at suture about as long as pronotum or slightly longer; abdomen subparallel. Male tergite VIII truncate apically; tubus of median lobe of aedeagus simple in form, its venter arcuate; internal sac structures inconspicuous; spermatheca small, capsule subspherical with small or without apical invagination, stem very short.

Body length 1.2–1.6 mm; body narrowly subparallel, linear, color variable: reddish brown with head and abdomen dark brown to piceous, or body piceous with reddish brown elytra, and yellowish-red legs, basal antennomeres and tip of abdomen; integument finely punctate; head subquadrate, larger than pronotum, with postocular area longer than diameter of eye, hind angles angular and rounded; antennomeres IV-X transverse and VI-X strongly transverse and about 3 times wider than long; pronotum broadest in apical third, narrow at base, pubescence directed laterad from midline of disc; elytra subparallel, at suture about as long as pronotum; abdomen subparallel, slightly broadening posterad. MALE: tergite VIII nearly two times as wide as long (Fig.
Body length 1.5–1.7 mm; body narrowly subparallel, linear, yellowish brown with head, most of antennae, and apical part of abdomen dark brown to piceous, or body light brown with darker head and posterior abdomen or pronotum and elytra brown and remainder of the body dark brown to almost black; integument finely punctate; head subquadrate, larger than pronotum, with postocular area longer than diameter of eye, hind angles angular and rounded; antennomeres IV-X transverse and VI-X strongly transverse and about 2 times wider than long; pronotum broadest in apical third, narrow at base, pubescence directed laterad from midline of disc; elytra subparallel, at suture slightly longer than pronotum; abdomen subparallel, slightly broadening posterad.
