Diagnosis.
Tetraserica ululalatensis sp. n. differs from similar T. fikaceki Liu et al., 2014 by the dorsal lobe of right paramere being directed basally, and the ventral lobe of left paramere being extremely long rather than short.
Etymology.
The new species is named after the type locality, Ulu Lalat Mt (adjective in the nominative singular).
