Description.
Andrewes (1931)
provided a detailed description and illustration. We simply add the following: length
9.4–10.4 mm
, width
2.9–3.3 mm
. Apical (not basal as stated in original description) four fifths of Ant 1 black; femora brown, with apical sixth or seventh black; Ant 1/Ant 3
5
3.45 (3.33–3.56); HW/PW
5
1.17 (1.12–1.21); PL/PW
5
1.53 (1.48–1.57); EW/PW
5
2.36 (2.18–2.42); EL/EW
5
1.72 (1.64–1.81); labrum with medial lobe slightly protruded anteriorly; genae short, slightly tumid; eyes moderately large, 2.5 times as long as genae; elytral punctation as in
Fig. 45
; protarsomere 3 symmetrical in male (
Fig. 53
); tarsal claws with 5–6 pectinations, length of the longest pectination subequal to the width of claw base (similar to
Fig. 63
); last sternum as in
Fig. 48
or 50. Aedeagus with apical lamella thin, linguiform (
Figs. 83–84
).
Distribution.
Indonesia
(
Sumatra
),
Malaysia
(N. Kalimantan).
Remarks.
We have not examined the
type
(in BMNH). Members of this species are readily recognized by their elytral intervals sparsely punctate (
Fig. 45
), femora with apical sixth black, and tibiae completely black.
