Body unicolorous, red brown to deep brown entirely. Pronotum and head finely reticulated. Antennae completely yellow brown, with distal ones slightly darker. Pro- and mesofemora red brown—concolorous with tibiae and tarsi. Color of metafemora deep red brown, deeper than that of pro- and mesofemora.
Head hypognathous. Frontal ridge narrow and convex. Frontolateral sulcus present. Suprafrontal sulcus moderately developed. Supraantennal, orbital sulci deep. Ratio of width of frontal ridge (excluding margin) to width of antennal socket (excluding margin): 1.40–150. Three to five weak punctures on vertex on each side near eye. Orbit glabrous, occasionally with few small rugged punctures. Number of setae on clypeus: 15-20. Number of hairs on labrum: 6. Anterior margin of labrum slightly convex.
Pronotum with two barely visible longitudinal impressions near basal margin on either side. Deep row of large punctures at base of pronotum absent. Pronotal base convex, slightly expanded at middle. Lateral margins of pronotum almost straight, converging forward. Anterolateral prothoracic callosity truncate, oblique and long. Posterolateral prothoracic callosity poorly developed. Diameter of pronotal punctures 2 to 3.5 times smaller than distance between them.
Elytra gently convex at sides. Elytral punctures larger than those on pronotum. Elytral punctures arranged regularly in single rows, including peri-scutellar row. Interspaces between striae of punctures strongly costate. Number of rows of minute punctures on each interspace: 2–3. Humeral calli well developed.
First male protarsomere slightly larger than second, larger than that of female.
Apex of aedeagus in ventral view narrowing gradually. Ventral longitudinal groove absent. Apical denticle in ventral view moderately developed, acute. In ventral view, apex of aedeagus streaked with oblique wrinkles and grooves, which is quite unique amongst
Oriental
Chaetocnema
species. Aedeagus in lateral view unevenly curved, more or less straight near apex, maximum curvature in lateral view situated at base.

Remarks:
Chaetocnema montivaga
resembles
C. wallacei
and
C. sumatrana
.
Chaetocnema wallacei
differs from
C. sumatrana
and
C. montivaga
by its larger body size and narrower body shape. Body length of
wallacei
is about
3.5-4.5 mm
, while
C. sumatrana
and
C. montivaga
are much smaller, usually about
2.9-3.2 mm
. In
C. sumatrana
and
C. montivaga
, there are two oblique ridges on ventro-lateral side of aedeagus. However, the oblique ridges in
C. montivaga
are much weaker than in
C. sumatrana
.
