Remarks
. This species lacks a distinct facial carina and a vibrissal fasciculus in the male, but the male and female genitalia are strikingly distinctive (Sasakawa 2004: figs 5–10). It has previously been known only from
Vanuatu
. Although few specimens collected in
Thailand
have a metallic sheen on the mesoscutum and abdomen, their male and female genitalia are quite identical with those of the
type
specimens from
Vanuatu
. New records of this species from
Thailand
indicates the unusually wide distribution at present.
