Remarks.

The unique type specimen deposited in MNHN is a newly emergent individual, which is difficult to compare with other specimens. The testaceous antennae and legs could be its color, or they would become as dark as the specimen from Laos or same to Murzin’s kabakovi. The elytra are not fully sclerotized, making specific character coding such as maculae unclear but revealing the absence of hind wings without opening the elytra. The last segment of maxillary palp (Fig. 2) and the last visible sternite (Fig. 1b) indicate that it is a female.

Measurement on the holotype: Elytra length: humeral width = ca. 3.5; pronotum length: pronotum maximum width = ca. 1.2; elytra length: prothorax length = ca. 2.7.

The relative length of antennal joints: 17:0.5:18:17:18:18:17:16:15:14:11.
