Diagnosis.

The upper part of the body is yellow to orange and only tips of elytra and the posterior part of the lateral margins are infuscate. This species partly resembles in the coloration Eniclases tikapurensis , which is slender and pale colored (Figs 9, 11).

Head brown, abdomen, meso- and metathorax dark colored, most of legs similarly colored, only trochanters and basal half of femora light brown; pronotum and elytra yellow to orange, only tips and posterior margins of elytra infuscate, transition between dark and bright parts of elytra gradual (Fig. 11). Head with small hemispherically prominent eyes, their diameter 0.79-0.84 times minimum interocular distance. Antennae serrate, antennomeres 3-4 triangular, antennomeres 5-10 almost parallel-sided (Fig. 35). Pronotum transverse, with almost straight lateral margins, elytra with weak, regular secondary costae and regular, often transverse, small cells.

Distribution.

New Guinea, Bokondini region.

Etymology.

The specific name refers to blackened edge of the apical part of elytra.
