Redescription. Length 6.4–7.4 mm, width 2.4–2.7 mm. General color ( Figs 1 View FIGURE 1 D–1F) reddish brown; antennomeres III–VII black, VIII–XI white or pale yellow; elytra metallic purple. Antennae filiform in males, but antennomeres V slightly broadened apically, VI and VII strongly swollen and dorsoventrally flattened, VI subapically slightly narrowed, VII subapically moderately narrowed, ventral surface smooth without setae ( Fig. 3A View FIGURE 3 ), length ratios of antennomeres I–XI 1.0: 0.3: 0.8: 0.8: 0.8: 1.2: 1.2: 1.0: 0.9: 0.8: 1.1, length to width ratios of antennomeres I–XI 3.4: 1.1: 2.9: 2.9: 2.5: 2.4: 2.4: 3.7: 3.6: 3.2: 4.7; filiform in females ( Fig. 3B View FIGURE 3 ), length ratios of antennomeres I–XI 1.0: 0.4: 0.6: 0.8: 0.7: 0.9: 1.0: 0.9: 0.8: 0.8: 1.0, length to width ratios of antennomeres I–XI 3.2: 1.7: 2.6: 3.1: 2.9: 3.8: 4.0: 3.9: 3.7: 3.6: 4.3. Elytra elongate and parallel-sided, 2.1x longer than wide; disc with dense, coarse punctures, arranged into longitudinal rows, those surrounding scutellum relatively smaller; with one weak longitudinal ridge between two longitudinal rows of punctures, basally abbreviated. Tarsomeres I of front legs not modified in males. Aedeagus ( Figs 3 View FIGURE 3 C–3E) slender, 6.4x longer than wide; apex lanceolate, with median, deep, narrow notch, from apex to apical 1/4; sides widest at apical 1/4, gradually narrowed towards basal 1/4; tectum well sclerotized, abruptly narrowed near apex, apex acute; straight in lateral view, slightly curved near base; triangular sclerites small; internal sac with one median elongate sclerite, apex acute, basally connected with laterally flattened sclerite, covered with stout setae. Gonocoxae ( Fig. 3G View FIGURE 3 ) elongate, widest at apical 1/6, both gonocoxae combined together from basal 1/3 to apical 1/6; apices narrowly rounded, each gonocoxa with eight setae along outer margin from apex to apical 1/6; with one pair of short lateral processes at basal 2/5. Ventrite VIII ( Fig. 3F View FIGURE 3 ) elongate and well sclerotized; disc with several long setae laterally and near apical margin, and with dense, short setae along apical margin; spiculum extremely slender. Receptacle of spermatheca ( Fig. 3H View FIGURE 3 ) strongly swollen; pump slender and strongly curved; proximal spermathecal duct deeply inserted into receptacle, narrow and short.
Variation. Some specimens from Sumatra and most of specimens from West Malaysia have black antennomeres VIII in males but more or less blackish in females ( Fig. 1G View FIGURE 1 ).
Diagnosis. Specimens of T. impressa are similar to those of T. chungi sp. nov. in color pattern but they differ in possessing modified antennomeres VI and VII in males (modified antennomeres VII and VIII in males of T. chungi sp. nov.) and distinct longitudinal ridges on the elytra (reduced longitudinal ridges on the elytra in T. chungi sp. nov.). In addition, the aedeagi of males of T. impressa have a relatively narrower notch on the apex of the aedeagus and well developed lateral sclerites of the internal sac (relatively broader notch on apex of aedeagus and poorly developed lateral sclerites of internal sac in T. chungi sp. nov.).
Remarks. Laboissière (1940) described populations from Peninsular Malaysia as a new subspecies, T. impressa malaccana that differs from the nominal subspecies in having black antennomeres VIII in both sexes. In fact, most females from Peninsular Malaysia have pale yellow antennomeres VIII. Moreover, two female paratypes share this characters. In addition, some individuals from Sumatra have black antennomreres VIII as described for T. impressa malaccana . Another subspecies, T. impressa flavicornis , with entirely yellow antennae, should be regarded as variations within populations since no such color pattern occurs in others from the same islands. Both subspecies are synonymized as nominal T. impressa because the distinguishing characters refer only to the variable color of the antennae.
Distribution. Indonesia (Java, Sumatra), West Malaysia.
