This species was described from females, males, pupae and larvae collected from Bario, Sarawak (

). It is characterized by the male style widened, and the pupal gill with eight filaments arranged as 3+3+2 from dorsal to ventral, of which the inner filament of the ventral pair is a little longer and thicker than the ourter filament.
This species was also collected from Peninsular Malaysia (Takaoka, 2012). The pupae and larvae of this species occur in small to medium-sized lowland streams.
