Taxonomy.
We have examined the
holotype
and eight
paratypes
from the
Philippines
(NMW) and a single specimen collected in East
Malaysia
(RABC). In this species, the pronotal summit is more weakly raised than in other species, and the asperities on the anterior slope are very small and rather widely separated. However, the overall form and proportions of the pronotum remain consistent with those of
Dryocoetiops
and not
Coccotrypes
. The elytral declivity is less steep than in other species of
Dryocoetiops
, the elytral striae are not impressed on the disc, and at most stria 1 is weakly impressed on the declivity.
