Remarks.— Originally described from
Vietnam
(
Szymczakowski, 1972
), new Malaysian and Indonesian material, if indeed conspecific, would extend its known range to Java, Peninsular
Malaysia
, and Borneo. This suggests the species may be unusually widely distributed in the Sunda region. Although it derives from distant localities, the new material closely matches the
holotype
, although small differences in the aedeagus are apparent, and the specimen from Peninsular
Malaysia
has almost undilated protarsi (about as wide as the third antennal segment). The female, which has not been described before, is identical to the male in external appearance.
