Type material. Holotype ɗ ( FRCK) labeled “ MALAYSIA: Lambir, Sarawak, 1.iii.1999, on fallen logs, M.J. Toda”.

Etymology. A combination of the Latin words: longus and barba, referring to the long filar-like processes of aedeagus.

Diagnosis. Fore tarsomeres with longer fringe-like setae on anterior surface; surstylus deeply bifurcated distally, with minute scale-like processes (Fig. 13); aedeagus with 4 pairs of rod-like processes, one of them twice as long as others (Fig. 14).

Description. Male. Frons and fronto-orbital plate brown. Palpus black. Mesonotum and scutellum yellow brown, without patches and longitudinal stripes. Postpronotal lobe yellow brown on upper 3/5, white on lower 2/5. Katepisternum nearly brown. Legs almost brown, pale on all tarsomeres. Fore femur with 4 setae on median of ventral surface; fore tarsomeres with longer fringe-like setae on anterior surface. Abdominal all tergites and sternites brown. Cercus with sporadic pubescence (Fig. 12). Plate between hypandrium and aedeagus with a few pubescence (Fig. 14).
