Remarks. Our specimen represents the first record of this species in Terengganu. Our specimens vary in color forms, and each of them bears distinct color patterns. Our specimens can be categorized into two color forms: brown with pronotum, head, and femora having striated patterns (Fig. 9A; as in Adžić, 2021) and dark colored (dark brown to blackish) with lateral parts of habitus (i.e., fore femora, basal part of hind femora, and lateral lobes) having lighter brown patches (Figs 9B–D). We now also know that this species tends to inhabit close to the ground, i.e., forest floors, pavements, and foliage of shrubs.

Distribution. Thailand [type locality], Peninsular Malaysia.
