♂. Head (Figs 19, 20) 1.7–1.9 times as wide as long; vertex in dorsal view evenly rounded; occiput and interocellar area impunctate and polished; vertex and gena weakly and finely punctate; geno-orbital index 3.1–3.8; frons impunctate and finely coriaceous, without median longitudinal groove; face 1.3–1.5 times as wide as long, sparsely though rather more strongly punctate than vertex; supraclypeal suture distinct; clypeus 2.1–2.4 times as wide as long, impunctate, with apical margin truncate and emarginate medially; antenna with 40–47 flagellomeres, 1st flagellomere 1.4–1.6 times as long as 2nd, 2nd 2.4–2.8 times as long as wide.
Mesosoma (Fig. 21): mesoscutum 1.1–1.3 times as long as wide; scutellum 1.4–1.6 times as long as distance between lateral carinae at its base, with lateral carina fading out beyond middle of scutellum; propodeum faintly trans-striate medially, without sublateral crest.
Fore tibial spur 0.5–0.6 times as long as 1st tarsomere, which is 8.7–9.7 times as long as wide; fore tarsal claw with 22–27 teeth; hind tarsal claw with 15–20 teeth.

Remarks. This is the first record of frenata from Japan. This species resembles latungula in the absence of an overhang and strip of minutely papillate cuticle on the mesal surface of the paramere, the membranous pad and the presence of teeth on the ventro-apical corner of the digitus, but can be distinguished from the latter by the characters in the key.
