Notes
.
The original description was based on
four specimens
. A male and a female
syntype
were examined; both differ in body shape, coloration of scaling, and shape of erect elytral scales.
Presumably
, they represent different species. A
lectotype
is designated to ensure stability of nomenclature. A second undescribed species from
Sabah
is at hand
.
