Type series.

Holotype, male, Ulu Gombak (University Malaya Field Studies Centre, 03°19.479N; 101°45.170E, 230 m alt.), Selangor, Malaysia, VIII 2008, C. von Beeren, from the colony of Leptogenys borneensis (mouthparts and terminalia dissected and mounted in Euparal) (KUM). Paratypes: same data as holotype (1 female, 2 sex?); same data, but III 2008, C. von Beeren & V. Witte (3 males, 1 female).

Type locality.

Ulu Gombak, Selangor, Malaysia.

Distribution.

Peninsular Malaysia.

Symbiotic host.

Leptogenys borneensis .

Diagnosis.

This species is similar to Togpelenys gigantea in general appearance, but distinguished from it by the smaller body, the dense setation on the body surface and the presence of a superior marginal line of the pronotal hypomeron. This species is found together with Leptogenonia roslii in the same host colony, and can be easily distinguished from it by the larger body and the longer and denser setation on the body surface.

Description.

Body (Fig. 3) color reddish brown, but head and elytra slightly darker. Head (Fig. 3) moderately covered with long erect setae; surface somewhat rugose. Antennae (Fig. 3) long; all segments longer than wide; segments III-X almost twice as long as wide; segment XI elongate. Pronotum (Fig. 3) longer than wide (width/length = 0.86), subparallel-sided, with anterior margin rounded, with posterolateral corners angled, produced laterally; surface moderately covered with long erect setae, which are poorly differentiated from macrosetae. Elytra (Fig. 3) moderately covered with long erect setae. Abdomen (Fig. 3) with sternites moderately covered with long erect setae, with tergite VIII (Fig. 10) rounded apically, with 9 macrosetae; sternite VIII (Fig. 11) rounded apically; tergite IX with 4 macrosetae; tergite X with 5 macrosetae postero-laterally.

Male: sternite VIII (Fig. 11) with around 18 macrosetae. Median lobe of aedeagus (Fig. 12) with short parameral crest; apical lobe curved near apex.

Female: sternite VIII with 14-16 macrosetae. Spermatheca (Figs 13-14) with basal part slightly dilated apically, twice curved near base and apex; apical part short.
