Tominotus

Head: mandibular plates rounded, forming a semicircle, sparsely and finely punctured, with a submarginal complete row of secondary hair-like setae of two different lengths and two primary setae on each plate, longer than most secondary setae. Clypeus polished, parallel-sided, not surpassing mandibular plates, with two subapical setigerous punctures. Eyes not elongated, projecting half their width, with a stout apical seta. Ocelli present, separated from eye by more than ocellar width. Antennomeres I–V length: 0.49, 0.56, 0.54, 0.78, 0.82. Labium surpassing middle coxae. Thorax: anterior margin of pronotum broadly emarginate with a row of small setae, extending to lateral margins continuing in a single row of seven longer setae on each side. Anterior pronotal lobe sparsely covered laterally with minute punctures, with two setae at anterior submargin and one on posterior surface; transverse impression marked by a single row of coarse punctures interrupted medially; posterior lobe almost impunctate laterally with a few coarse punctures near midline. Mesopleural evaporatorium interrupted on posterior half by polished darker band (pseudoperitreme). Scutellar apex narrowed, distinctly less than half as wide as membranal suture; scutellum length on midline 3.53, width at base 3.08; surface smooth with numerous well-separated punctures becoming fine apically. Costa with two setigerous punctures. Posterior tibia conspicuously sinuous; posterior femora convex ventrally, flattened and slightly wider posteriorly; tibiae abruptly flattened and conspicuously sinuous throughout length; tarsi not modified. Abdomen: sterna III–VI polished and impunctate with a single seta near upper margin; sternum VII with seven long setae at posterior margin.
