Head elongated, narrower as pronotum, dorsallycovered with greenish-white, sparse, very fine pubescence. Fron flat, black, with metallic greenish luster and thin elengated middle line. Eye not extended, bilobate. Cheeks narrow, not extended, with fine and sparse pubescence.Clypeus black, narrow, shiny. Labrum black, shiny, covered with sparse pubescence and numerous setaes.

Third antennomere black, with very fine greenish luster,and fine pubescence, apically widened, with dark setae.Fourth and remaining antennomeres, dark, withfine grey pubescence, except darkened apex.
Pronotum subcylindrical, slightly elongated, withparallel side. Pronotum on basal and apical margin emarginated with thin, transverse, parallel, slightly curved line. Pronotal disc with coarse punctures and very sparse pubescence, shiny, with greenish metallic luster. Basal margin of pronotum with band of greenish-white pubescence.

Differential diagnosis. The new species is similar to Lamprobityle danae Barševskis & Cabras 2019 from Mt. Talomo, Mindanao island, but differs from it by the following characters: 1) all legs of the new species are black, with metallic luster, but the middle and hind legs of L. danae are yellow-red; 2) basal margin of pronotum of new species with well developed band greenish – white pubescence, but the basal margin of pronotum of L. danae only with spars white pubescence, not forming well visible band; 3) tegument of new species black, with greenish metallic luster, but on L. danae – with bluish metallic luster.
Etymology. The new species is named in honor of one of the local tribes living on the territory of the island of Mindanao, the Bagobo Tabagawa, showing respect and gratitude for the opportunity to conduct research on the beetle fauna during expeditions in the territory of the tribe.
