Fig. 3

Callilanguria asymmetrica Heller 1900: 5 . Type locality: Central Celebes . Type depository: SNHCD.

Remarks. Body length: 11.2–19.5 mm. Only the holotype exists in SNHCD, and both antennae are missing. Villiers (1945) misspelled it as “ Callilanguria asymetrica ”. The color of this species is dark, and the apex of the scutellar shield is slightly extended and acute. It is similar to C. gorhami Villier, 1945 but can be distinguished by the club, which is composed of the last four antennomeres in C. asymmetrica , while the club of C. gorhami is composed of the last five antennomeres; the apex of scutellar shield is a little extended in C. asymmetrica but short in the latter.
