Known distribution:

).
Remarks. First record for West
Malaysia
(
Selangor
). This species has two distinctive paired thick sclerites in the internal sac of aedeagus. The shape of these sclerites in the Ulu Gombak material is slightly different from the shape of the sclerites of the
holotype
, however, due also to the circumstance that the Sumatran population is known by the type only, we were unable to find further differences that could allow a taxonomic separation of the Sumatran populations from Peninsular Malaysian specimens.
