Diagnosis. Large, broadly oval species (body length 4.5–4.7 mm). Elytra with subbasal testaceous band narrow, sinuous, well separated from elytral base; elytra without mediolateral spot ( Fig. 2 View Figs ). Apical part of median lobe in lateral view with distinct bulge on dorsal side ( Fig. 19 View Figs ).
Distribution. A species occurring in southern India (Karnataka and Tamil Nadu states) ( Fig. 41 View Figs ), the single record from southern Myanmar ( Guignot, 1954) most probably belongs to another species, e.g., Laccophilus hendrichi .
