In the male genitalia the valves are paddle-like, lacking the strong costal and saccular processes seen in congeners.

Geographical range. Philippines, Talaut I., Sulawesi, Borneo, Taiwan.

Habitat preference. The only Bornean specimen is from Pulo Laut, a low-lying island at the southeast of Borneo.
