Type material. Holotype: male, INDONESIA: Bali, Tabanan, Bedugul Area , 8°16′S, 115°09′E, local collector, 8–12 August 1996 ( ZRC) ( AMNH _ PBI 00378783 About AMNH ) GoogleMaps . Paratypes: INDONESIA: 3 females, same data as for holotype ( TYCN) GoogleMaps .

Diagnosis. This new species is recognised by the following characters: Oily shiny, pale milky olive dorsum with reddish brown band at subapical part of corium; sharp apex of right paramere hypophysis ( Fig. 14B View Fig ); rounded apex of left paramere hypophysis ( Fig. 27K View Fig ); relatively developed lobal-sclerites and large secondary gonopore ( Figs. 14C View Fig , 27L View Fig ); and large spinules on dorsal margin of posterior wall ( Fig. 27M View Fig ).

Description. Body generally pale milky olive, oval; dorsum oily shiny, well-polished ( Fig. 26C View Fig ). Head shiny pale brown, partly suffused with red; basal transverse carina of vertex almost obliterated ( Fig. 26J, K View Fig ); lorum and clypeus fuscous. Antenna dark brown; antennomere I pale brown with darkened base and apex; antennomere II with a pale, narrow annulation near base (male)/ with pale basal half and fuscous extreme base (female); base of antennomere III creamy yellowish brown. Labium pale reddish brown, reaching apex of metacoxa; base of segment I and apical ¾ of segment IV darkened. Pronotum uniformly pale, almost glabrous; calli slightly tinged with red; pleura shiny pale reddish brown; metathoracic scent efferent system creamy yellow, with rather flat peritreme ( Fig. 26M View Fig ); mesoscutum and scutellum with sparsely distributed, short setae ( Fig. 26L View Fig ). Hemelytron oily shiny, smooth, with sparsely distributed, pale, short, simple setae ( Fig. 26J View Fig ); subapical part of clavus, apical ⅓ of corium, and basal ½ and apex of cuneus reddish brown; membrane pale smoky brown, semi-transparent, with brown veins. All coxae and legs shiny pale brown; metafemur with two or three reddish rings apically; each tarsomere III darkened; pretarsal structure as in Fig. 26O View Fig ; parempodia relatively narrow. Abdomen pale brown; male genital segment (pygophore) shiny fuscous ( Fig. 12B View Fig ); ventral median part more or less darkened in female ( Fig. 12D View Fig ). Male genitalia ( Figs. 14 View Fig A−C, 27J–L): Hypophysis of left paramere with somewhat rounded apex ( Fig. 27K View Fig ); right paramere with short, pointed hypophysis ( Fig. 14B View Fig ); vesical lobal-sclerites with rather developed notches ( Figs. 14F View Fig , 27L View Fig ); secondary gonopore comparatively large. Female genitalia ( Figs. 14D, E View Fig , 27M–O View Fig ): Sclerotised rings narrow, subtriangular ( Figs. 14I View Fig , 27O View Fig ); dorsal margin of posterior wall with relatively large spinules ( Fig. 27M View Fig ).
