Redescription of the male
Body slender, black, only basal third elytral costae with reddish pubescence. Head small, antennae flabellate, with lamellae of antennomeres 7–9 about twice longer than respective stems. Pronotum with 7 areolae, postero-lateral costae sharp, well-developed, conspicuous, median areola complete, sharp with elevated margins, areola attached directly to basal margin; anterior angles obtuse, lateral margins concave in the posterior part, posterior angles sharply prominent, pronotum covered with black pubescence. Elytra parallel-sided, secondary costae developed, transverse costae dense. Phallus slender, widest in apical two fifths, apex slender, long
1.2 mm
(

).
Distribution
This species is known only from the
type
locality in the
Selangor state
. Although a wide distribution is expected as in other lowland species, these habitats are heavily affected by urban development and palm oil production and the species has not been recorded since its description.
