Remarks. The new species resembles Gergithoides carinatifrons Schumacher, 1915 ( Figs. 43–45 View FIGURES 37 – 45 37 ), but it can be distinguished by: 1) ocelli present, absent in Gergithoides carinatifrons ; 2) vertex 1.7 times longer than broad, in Gergithoides carinatifrons , 1.2 times longer than wide in midline; 3) frons elevated at disc and smooth, clypeus with distinct median carina, in Gergithoides carinatifrons , frons plain and coarse, with a row of particles along apical margin and lateral margin at apical half, clypeus without median carina; 4) tegmen with a brown stripe along anterior and apical margins, and anterior margin moderately convex at one third of base, Gergithoides carinatifrons without such stripe and anterior margin arc; 5) genital style with one tubercular process at middle of dorsal margin, capitulum of style with two obtuse apical processes, style without any tubercular process and capitulum of style angulate at apex in Gergithoides carinatifrons .
The new species is also similar to Macrodaruma pertinax Fennah, 1978 ( Figs. 37–39 View FIGURES 37 – 45 37 ), but can be separated from the latter by the following characters: 1) vertex more or less hexagonal and slightly produced, vertex of Macrodaruma pertinax longer than broad and strongly produced, tapering and almost awl-shaped; 2) pronotum with median carina, anterior margin not elevated, in Macrodaruma pertinax , median carina absent, and anterior margin foliately elevated; 3) median carina and lateral margins of frons pale brown, and lateral margins elevated, median carina in Macrodaruma pertinax red, and lateral margins not elevated; 4) genital style with one tubercular process at middle of dorsal margin, but Macrodaruma pertinax absent.
