Discussion. The author had no opportunity to clear specimens because of the lack of additional material. However, he has no hesitation in placing this species in Dilasia because of texture of the hemelytra, the absence of strong punctures with emerging setae, the apically thickened second antennal segment, that is shorter than the head, the labium’s reaching the midcoxae and the typically Dilasia shaped the pronotum and head.
