COMMENTS

HO (2016) described this species in the genus Pylaemenes Stål, 1875 and differentiated it from the other members of the genus by the trapezoidal mesonotum of both sexes, a generic character of Microrestes gen. nov. The head armature as well as the shape of the last abdominal segments also agree with Microrestes gen. nov., and the species is therefore transferred from Pylaemenes . Unfortunately, the sensory areas of pro- and profurcasternum were not described. Hence, it remains unknown whether this species also has three sensory-areas on the prosternum as seen in M. robustus sp. nov.

This species occurs in Xishuangbanna Autonomous Prefecture in China, bordering Laos and Myanmar. The region has a subtropical to tropical climate.
