Diagnosis. Large broadly oval species (body length 4.5–5.1 mm). Reticulation of elytra composed of shallowly impressed very large meshes. Ground colour of elytra dark, brownblackish; mediolateral spot present ( Fig. 17 View Figs ). Apical part of median lobe relatively shorter, with dorsal side lightly curved, and short and hooked apex; in lateral view with dorsal side almost straight ( Fig. 35 View Figs ).
Distribution. Brancucci (1983) described the species from northern Laos and Vietnam. Later, Nilsson (1995) and Hájek (2003) published the species from southern China (Yünnan). The present records from Myanmar and northern Thailand extend the distributional area of Laccophilus wittmeri in the border area between the Palaearctic and Oriental zoogeographical regions ( Fig. 41 View Figs ).
