Among members of the Muscicola group in the Oriental region, Quedius semilaeviventris may be easily distinguished by a combination of: forebody very dark; pronotum narrow, vaguely longer than wide, strongly narrowed anteriad; elytra with sparse punctation; legs entirely pale; abdominal tergites with large impunctate areas at middle; tergite VII with palisade fringe. A dorsal habitus is given in Fig. 3A View Fig .
