Syntypes.
Kinabalu / Borneo, 1500 m / H. Rolle, Berlin, SW. 11 // Microserica / flaveola Mos. [handwritten by Moser] // Donateur 826a / J. Moser, / Berlin III.1917 // 2274, 1♂; ditto, Donateur 826b / J. Moser, / Berlin III.1917 //, 2275, 1♀.
Remarks.
This species was described from an unknown number of specimens from both sexes measuring 4.5 mm in length. The type locality is Mount Kinabalu, the highest peak in the Bornean Crocker Range (Sabah, Malaysia). The beetles, which Moser had purchased from the well-known German dealer Franz Hermann Rolle (1864-1929), were possibly collected by Fruhstorfer, who explored Mount Kinabalu in 1899.
