This species was described from females, males, pupae and larvae collected from Tioman Island (
Takaoka
et al
., 2012b
). It is characterized in the female by the claw with a minute subbasal projection, and in the pupa by the gill filaments divergent at an angle of 90 degrees or slightly more.
The pupae and larvae were collected from a small lowland stream (width
0.2–0.3 m
, water temperature 25̊C, shaded) slowly flowing in a forest, Tioman Island.
