Material examined. — 2 males, Malaysia, Sarawak, Miri Division , mid Baram, foot of Gunung Kalulong, small stream in disturbed forest, 20 Jul.2010, coll. RAD ; 1 female, same data but 21 Jul.2010 .

Remarks. — The males were freshly emerged when caught and the condition of the specimens does not allow definite identification. However the superior appendages of one of them are in good enough condition that the interior and dorsal projections can be examined, and the general shape of the appendage; it bears a strong resemblance to T. belalongensis . The markings, as far as they can be made out, also broadly agree with T. belalongensis . The female is a mature specimen from the same location as the males, taken late in the afternoon and associated with the males only by supposition; its markings are also similar to that of the holotype of T. belalongensis . Although these specimens may belong to T. belalongensis , they might equally well belong to some other, unnamed species of Telosticta and their placement awaits more material.
