Material examined. Holotype, male (SDK.19.20), EAST MALAYSIA, Sabah, Sandakan, Sepilok, Rainforest Discovery Centre , N5.87580, E117.94299, 39.1± 5.4 m.a.s.l., leaf litter, 9 January 2019, 1911h, coll. M. K. Tan, R. Japir, M. Binti, J. L. Yukang ( FRC). GoogleMaps

Paratypes, 2 females: 1 female (SDK.19.19), same locality, N5.87356, E117.94172, 49.1± 5.2 m.a.s.l., leaf litter, 9 January 2019, 1105h, coll. M. K. Tan, R. Japir, M. Binti, J. L.

Remarks. Ingrisch (2006) described the female of this species as Cycloptiloides sp. 1 without providing a species name. Here, we provide a formal name, assign a male holotype and describe the male.

Diagnosis. The male differs from congeners by the supra-anal plate trapezoidal in shape with apical margin broadly rounded, with dark scales and yellow brown setae laterally and shiny pale in the middle (forming two spots). The female differs from congeners by shorter maxillary palps and ovipositor and more transverse supra-anal plate ( Ingrisch, 2006).

Etymology. The species name refers to the two spots in the middle of the supra-anal plate; bi = two in Latin, maculata = spotted in Latin.

Description. Habitus of male as shown in Figs. 2 View FIGURE 2 , 3 View FIGURE 3 . Dorsum of head flattened ( Fig. 3A View FIGURE 3 ). Frontal rostrum 1.2 times wider than scapus. Maxillary palps with apical (= fifth) a little longer than subapical (= fourth) and third segments, subapical and third segments subequal lengths; apical segment little widened ( Fig. 4A View FIGURE 4 ). Pronotum about 1.5 times longer than wide with anterior dorsal margin distinctly concave; lateral margin subparallel in anterior half and faintly widening posteriorly; covering tegmen entirely; posterior margin convex. Fore tibia with internal tympanum large and elongate oval ( Fig. 4B View FIGURE 4 ); without external tympanum. Hind femur 1.4 times longer than hind tibia; hind tibia 2.1 times longer than hind metatarsus.

Male. Supra-anal plate trapezoidal with apical margin broadly rounded, with setae at lateral parts ( Figs. 4C, 4D View FIGURE 4 ). Subgenital plate trapezoidal, posterior margin slightly convex ( Fig. 4F View FIGURE 4 ). Epiphallus and phallic complex hyaline ( Fig. 4E View FIGURE 4 ).

Female. Already sufficiently described in Ingrisch (2006). Our female specimens from Sandakan agree with the description.

Colouration. General colouration similar to female described in Ingrisch (2006). Male supra-anal plate with dark scales laterally, middle shining pale coloured (forming two spots) ( Figs. 4C, 4D View FIGURE 4 ). Cercus (both male and females) with brown scales.

Measurements (in mm). Holotype BL = 3.9; FRW = 0.27; SW = 0.14; EW = 0.14; PL = 1.9; PW = 1.3; HFL = 2.5; HFW = 0.9; HTL = 1.8; HML = 0.8.

Distribution. Borneo (Sabah: Kinabalu, Sandakan )
