Diagnosis.
Recognized by the large size, long labium, roughened pronotum with a narrow collar, distinctly long, erect setae on the hemelytron, and well developed dorsal and ventral labiate plates of the bursa copulatrix; these diagnostic characters enable this new species to be distinguished from the sympatric, most closely related congener,

indochinensis
Schuh.
