Head
.

Thorax

1.50–1.70 mm
(mean:
1.57 mm
), ratio length to width 0.59–0.63 (mean: 0.61). Scutellum brown to reddish-brown. Elytral entirely brown to reddish-brown (
Fig. 38
), coarsely punctuated, punctuation partly arranged in longitudinal rows. Elytral length
3.90–4.60 mm
(mean:
4.27 mm
), maximal width of both elytra together
2.70–3.30 mm
(mean:
2.95 mm

Abdomen
.
— Brown to red.
Male genitalia

structure of plate like structured present, and sacculus can visibly seen (
Fig. 40
).
Female genitalia
.
— Spermatheca with small, slender and elongated nodulus. Middle part long and slightly curved, cornu long and curved (
Fig. 41
). Two pairs of bursa sclerites;
one spiny and sclerotized and one other pair of hook-shaped, bigger in size (
Fig. 42
).
Distribution
.
— Distributed throughout Borneo, Sumatra and Peninsular
Malaysia
(
Fig. 43
).

Diagnosis
.
—
Orthoneolepta fulvipennis
resembles
Rubrarcastes sanguinea
(
Jacoby, 1892
)
from colouration and antennomeres (both possess widened medium antennomeres), but
O. fulvipennis
posses second and third antennomere almost the same length (ratio length of second to third antennomere 0.60–1.00) differed to
R. sanguinea
which third antennomere longer than second antennomere (0.43–0.57). Median lobe and spermatheca are different between these two species. From
O. banggiensis
,
O. fulvipennis
can be differentiated by the dorsal colouration. Elytral entirely brown to reddish-brown in
O. fulvipennis
(
Fig. 38
) while often the sutural and lateral margin narrowly black on yellow to dark brown elytra of
O. banggiensis
(
Fig. 45
).
