Comparative notes. This species can be separated from all other congeners by the uniquely constricted postgenae and the quadrate pronotum.
Etymology. The new species is named from a combination of the Latin stem, ‘ quadrati ’ and Greek word ‘ thorax ’, referring to the unique pronotal shape of the new species. Noun in apposition.
Biology. The single specimen was collected by sifting leaf litter along a road to the peak in a broad-leaved forest ( Fig. 8B View Fig ).
