Apatetica glabra
Coloration: body black with the lateral margins of the pronotum and tergite VIII dark reddish-brown; legs black with all or the apical joints of the tarsi reddish to reddish-brown. Head strongly transverse; frons and vertex with fine punctation and without microsculpture, glossy; median portion of vertex with or without impression and with a variable number of coarser punctures; near dorsal margin of eyes with rather shallow rugose striae and with longitudinal microsculpture. Antenna moderately long; antennomeres IV approximately twice as long as broad, V nearly twice as long as broad, VII weakly oblong, VIII approximately as long as broad. Disc strongly convex in cross-section, near posterior angles flattened; posterior angles sharply marked and directed posteriad; lateral margins narrowly separated in anterior half; disc with regularly distributed and moderately dense fine punctation; interstices without microsculpture. Each elytron with eight fine striae with very fine, rather weakly defined, and not very dense punctures; intervals flat, with extremely fine micropunctation visible only at high magnification, without microsculpture and glossy. Scutellum is weakly transverse. Legs rather short and stout; protarsomeres probably without sexual dimorphism. Abdomen with microsculpture composed of a mix of isodiametric and transverse meshes of variable length; punctation fine, slightly coarser only in lateral portions of tergite VII and in the posterior portion of tergite VIII; tergite VIII apically obtusely pointed, gradually becoming more convex (cross-section) from base to apex. Male: protarsomeres weakly dilated; ventral process moderately acute apically in ventral view, bent dorsad in lateral view; internal sac with long membranous tube; parameres flattened, apically acute and bent ventrad, extending to apex of ventral process.
