Tricosa cattienensis sp. n.
(Figs 19–22)
Diagnosis: 2.70–3.10 mm long (mean = 2.98 mm; n = 5); 2.50–2.70 times as long as wide. This species is distinguished by the discal interstrial punctures confused, protibia distinctly triangular, anterior margin of pronotum with a clear row of six moderate serrations. This species is very similar to C. indochinensis but can be distinguished by the smaller size and stouter form.
