Antennomeres 6-10 transverse. Antennomere 6 shorter and wider than antennomere 5. Antennomere 7 longer and wider than antennomere 6. Antennomere 8 slightly shorter and wider than antennomere 7. Antennomere 9 slightly wider than antennomere 8. Antennomere 10 subequal to antennomere 9. Antennomere 11 suboval, longer than antennomere 10. Pronotum campaniform. Disc moderately convex, densely punctate. Greatest width at base. Scutellum rectangular with triangular incision at posterior margin. Elytra subparallel-sided, widest at end of basal quarter. Scutellar area not depressed. Base of striae 3 and 4 without teeth. Elytral striae narrow, with small punctures. Interstriae wide and flat, with dense and fine punctation.

Ventrite 5 faintly emarginate at apex, longer than 4. Pigidium arched at males and not arched at females. Legs long. Femora thickened. Metafemora not incrassate, with minute preapical denticle mesoventral margin. Metatibiae straight, continuously widened from base to apex, with complete margins and apical mucro. Tarsi pseudoquadrisegmented. Tarsomeres 1 and 2 conical. Tarsomere 3 bilobed. Tarsomeres 1-3 with weak pulvilli on lower surface. Tarsomere 5 long. Trasal claws free and appendiculate. Mesotarsomere 1 long-conical. Mesotarsomere 2 very long. Length of body: 2.2-2.6 mm. Remarks. This species develops on Sphaerophysa salsula (Pall.) DC. (Lukjanovich and Ter-Minassian 1957). We collected it from this plant (fig. 3) growing on the shore of a salt lake. Distribution. Asia minor (Iran), Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Russia, China (Xinjiang), Mongolia (Bayankhongor and Ömnögovi prov.) (fig. 4). This species is listed in the general distribution for Russia, South Africa, Turkey (Li et al. 2014), but we think that this is an erroneous records.
