group with bicoloured elytra. It resembles in colour pattern the Sumatran species

Body and head dark brown to black, pronotum, mesoscutellum and elytra in humeral half orange, apical part of elytra dark brown to black (Fig. 14). Head small, including eyes narrower than pronotum at posterior angles, antennal tubercles slightly prominent. Eyes hemispherically prominent, eye diameter 1.8 times frontal interocular distance. Antennae slender, compressed, length of antennomere 3 1.2 times
antennomere
2. Pronotum transverse, 1.8 wider than long at midline, anterior margin slightly projected forward, anterior angles marked, lateral margins almost straight, posterior margin bisinuate (Fig. 18). Elytra 3.3 times longer than width at humeri, elytra parallel-sided, elytral costae inconspicuous. Legs slender, compressed, densely pubescent. Male genitalia with slender, curved phallus and small rounded parameres bearing slender membranous process, phallobase wide, narrowly and deeply emarginate (Figs 64-65).
