Description

Pycnotarsobrentus sp.

Specimen examined. 1 ♀, near Keningau, Sabah, Malaysia, IV 2005 (KUM).

Comments. This female specimen apparently belongs to Pycnotarsobrentus, and can be distinguished from P. inuiae by the presence of a pair of furrows near the apices of the elytra. This is an undescribed species, but description will be delayed until a male specimen becomes available. The specimen is thought to have been collected at a light trap by a local insect collector.
