Remarks.

This species exhibits notable variation in the presence and development of a subquadrate light macula on the basal half of the elytra. The macula is moderately developed in most specimens (Figs 23 View Figures 13–24 , 24 View Figures 13–24 ), completely absent (or nearly so) in three specimens including the holotype (Fig. 46 View Figures 44–51 ), and exceptionally enlarged in one female specimen where it occupies most of the basal elytral surface.

This species shows remarkable similarity to Miccolamia glabricula Bates, 1884 known from Japan, particularly in elytral and tarsal morphology (characterized by multi-tuberculate elytra and simple tarsal claws). Based on comparison of a high-quality photographic series of M. glabricula provided by Patrick Gorring in 2025 ( PSGC), M. tuberculipennis can be preliminarily distinguished by the scape and femora more strongly clavate and thickened (especially in males); the pronotal disk usually glabrous on the central area; and the elytral tubercles much more developed and strongly elevated in lateral view.
