This species can be easily distinguished from the other members of the subgenus by a following combination of characters: body entirely reddish brown (Fig. 3); abdominal segments III-V (first three visible terga) deeply impressed laterobasally; both tergite and sternite VIII with weakly developed basal sutures (Figs 27-30); median lobe of aedeagus with long apical lobe, notched deeply and medially at apex in ventral view (Fig. 33); spermatheca with a curved spermathecal head, unequally serrated inner walls inside spermathecal head, and with approximately three coils at base (Fig. 34).

Furthermore, the apical lobe of the median lobe of male aedeagus, [i.e., deeply notched medially at apex in parameral view (Fig. 33)], is also a remarkable character state even among the subfamily. Since other morphological characters correspond fully to that of the subgenus
<taxonomicName genus="Myrmedoniina" lsidName="Myrmedoniina (Tinotus)" pageId="13" pageNumber="94" rank="subGenus" subGenus="Tinotus">Tinotus</taxonomicName>
, we assign this species to
<taxonomicName genus="Myrmedoniina" lsidName="Myrmedoniina (Tinotus)" pageId="13" pageNumber="94" rank="subGenus" subGenus="Tinotus">Tinotus</taxonomicName>
without hesitation.
