Description. Total length: 7.0– 11.7 mm. Width across humeral calli: 1.0– 1.8 mm. Body dark red-brown with a darker discal area on elytra. Habitus of types: Figs 8–9.
Head broader than long. Metarostrum, mesorostrum and prorostrum of male smooth; whitish pubescent area of female narrow (Fig. 35) and running from the base of head to the base of prorostrum. Prorostrum 0.35– 0.45 as long as head + metarostrum + mesorostrum. Antennomere 3 conical, slightly longer than broad (Fig. 37); following ones as long as broad, almost cylindrical and glabrous; antennomeres 9–10 longer than broad, 11th 1.5–1.7 as long as 10th.
Pronotum shiny, with numerous coarse punctures at base and on sides. Prosternellum not distinct. Metasternum convex, longitudinally grooved. Meso- and metafemora with few thick setae on the underside but much less numerous than on profemora. Base of elytra slightly concave; interstriae 1, 4 and 5–7 forming small raised tubercles at base; interstria 2 not as raised as 1 and 3; interstria 3 strongly raised but depressed after the first quarter; interstria 8 beginning before the first half of elytra but never reaching the base; interstria 9 forming the external apical border of elytra; both sexes with a median blunt tooth on the inner border of apical "forceps" (Figs 39–40). First segment of metatarsi (Fig. 38) longer than the two following ones together.
Sternites III–IV of abdomen (Fig. 41) quite convex with few coarse punctures on sides and on posterior margin of sternite IV; sternites V–VI with few coarse punctures, without basal notches; basal notch of sternite VII sometimes hardly distinct. Apex of tergite VII of female notched (Fig. 42); tergite VIII of female (Fig. 47) weakly denticulate. Gonopods IX: Fig. 45. Spermatheca: Fig. 46. Spiculum gastrale: Fig. 43; tegmen: Fig. 44.
Remarks. This species is also cited from Myanmar (Sforzi & Bartolozzi, 2004). Records from New Guinea and adjacent islands are erroneous as already explained by Damoiseau (1987) and Sforzi & Bartolozzi (2004). Distribution map: Fig. 98.
