Notes.
A single female (body length
15 mm
) cannot be identified within any of the known
Dineutus
species
from the region. It is characterised with relatively elongate habitus with sides of elytra only weakly rounded and feeble subapical elytral sinuation; greenish lustre of dorsal surface and well visible elytral striae. Finding more specimens, especially males, is necessary for solving its classification.
