XII.1967" (HNHM). Description - Habitus: Fig. 25. Length 5.6 mm, width 2.7 mm; shape rather broad, ovoid, distinctly convex. Colour and lustre: head light brown; pronotum reddish brown, wide sides distinctly lighter; elytra darker brown, each with two transverse yellowish spots; anterior spot broad, serrated anteriorly and posteriorly, covering intervals 2 to 7; posterior spot similarly serrated, covering intervals 2-8 but abbreviated on 6; mandibles, palpi, antennae and legs reddish yellow, tibiae slightly darkened; head and pronotum distinctly microsculpted and matt, elytra more shiny. Head: eyes strongly protruding; temples moderately long, obliquely narrowing to neck; labrum much longer than wide, anteriorly straightly truncate; mandibles rather long, conically narrowing towards apex; head without characteristic features. Pronotum: 1.65 times as wide as long, sides medially weakly angled, with setigerous puncture in this angle; sides distinctly and roundly narrowing towards broadly rounded and weakly projecting anterior angles, narrowing to obtuse-angled posterior angles in straight line; marginal groove narrowing anteriorly, wider posteriorly; anterior margin clearly sinuate; base rather straight with distinct prebasal transverse depression which bilaterally merging with basal impressions, these broad, distinctly depressed but vaguely marked; median line rather deeply incised, not reaching anterior margin or base.

Etymology - The species is named after its geographical origin. Comparisons - This species resembles Trichocoptodera maculata LOUWERENS, 1958 in shape and size, but is more slender, with elytral sides before apex less declivous, humeral spot on fourth interval not as far elongated towards middle and preapical spot much larger and wider.
