Dubault et al., 2008: 200, 207 (‘Angkor’); Roux et al., 2016: 76.
DIAGNOSIS. A medium-sized species defined chiefly by sharply carinate inclination of prosternal process. Mandibles laterally rounded; antennal scape barely shorter than antennomeres 2 to 4 combined; pronotal base impunctate between basal foveae, median line obliterate basally. Elytral microsculpture hardly traceable, consisting of moderately transverse meshes. Internal sac of aedeagus ( Fig. 110 View Figs 106–115 ) with basal bulb hooked (all males examined).
REDESCRIPTION. Aedeagus ( Figs 100–105 View Figs 96–105 , 108–110, 113–115 View Figs 106–115 , 138–139 View Figs 138–147 ): slightly asymmetrical in dorsal/ventral view, with left margin angulate at middle, indistinctly sinuate between the angle and apex, this latter curved barely to the left. Internals sac in lateral view at right angle with apical half of aedeagus; with preapical bulb and preapical vesicle large, distal vesicle small and situated on right side of base of dorsal sclerite; distal part with a low yet distinct dorsoapical bulb.
HABITATS AND HABITS. This species appears to be eurybiotic rather than forest-dwelling. Four specimens examined were taken along forest edges at light, and the other four were hand collected along roads or in a cropfield.
COMMENTS. This species is here subdivided into two subspecies. These have hitherto been recognized as separate species, both being rather different in appearance. But their aedeagi, with internal sacs, are very similar and thus argue for the contrary.
