50 E. Kirschenhofer transverse reticulation; elytra densely chagreened; dorsum with silky lustre, glabrous; dorsal surface distinctly duller than T. pahagensis due to much denser microsculpture. Distribution - Malaysia: Sabah. Etymology - The species is dedicated to the carabid specialist DAVID W. WRASE with kind respect. Comparisons - Taridius wrasei sp. n. resembles T. sabahensis (length 8.5-9.0 mm), but is smaller, more densely microsculptured and duller, with less extensive spots; in T. sabahensis the median lobe of the aedeagus is feebly arched in lateral view, weakly bent, with ventral edge distinctly bent off preapically, in dorsal view with apex rather extended, moderately widely rounded (Figs 3-4).
