Redescription.

Size of the male: length 9-11 mm; width 3.6 mm. Size of the female: length 14-16 mm; width 3.8 mm. The male is dark and clothed in pale tomentum. Yellowish labrum, clypeus, scapus, elytra, fore-and mid-femora. Yellow pronotum and abdomen. Frons naked, wrinkled and punctate. Antennae as long as the body with segments 3-5 subequal, segments 4-10 with slightly serrated external margin. Eyes with fine granulation, weakly emarginated. Pronotum clothed in dense white tomentum, shape subcylindrical, the widest part is before the middle, the sides have two small lateral tubercles, discal area with four gibbosities. Triangular scutellum with rounded apex and dense white silky tomentum. Elytra with broad base, almost twice as wide as the base of the pronotum, acuminate at apex with emarginate sides, each elytron is individually rounded and weakly dehiscent. Discal area with a depression from elytral base to the middle. Bordered suture. Basal tomentum white and silky, darkened suture. Anterior coxae subcontiguous, midcoxae rather separate, mesosternal process with wide, strongly bordered apex. Anterior femora thickened after apical half, longer than fourth abdominal segment. Female testaceous yellow, with golden-yellow tomentum on the head, very abundant on the external side of mandibles. Antennomeres 3-8, lateral margin and apex of elytra dark, almost black. Antennomeres 1-3 testaceous, 9-11 white. Pronotal disc with four inconspicuous gibbosities.

Remarks.

I have studied the holotype of Trypogeus apicalis Fisher, 1933 ( Lingafelter et al. 2014: 18) and can hereby confirm that it corresponds perfectly to the female of Trypogeus javanicus , which is why its synonymy with Trypogeus javanicus Aurivillius, 1925 is proposed.

Distribution.
