Material examined. 1 male (SDK.19.103) and 1 female (SDK.19.104), EAST MALAYSIA, Sandakan , Kabili Sepilok Forest Reserve, N5.87084, E117.93764, 98.7± 6.1 m.a.s.l., mating on foliage, 3 October 2019, 2058h, coll. M. K. Tan & J. L. Yukang ( FRC) .

Distribution. Borneo (Sabah: Sorinsim on Kinabalu, Sepilok in Sandakan)

Remarks. The specimens reported agree with the original description by Ingrisch (2006) in general habitus, maxillary palps, male abdominal apex, male phallic complex and female ovipositor ( Fig. 1 ). The locality Sepilok is a new record for this species that was described and previously known only from Kinabalu. While Kinabalu is a mountainous terrain, Sandakan has a lower and flatter terrain.
