Material examined. VIETNAM, Th ừa Thiên Hu ễ province, Bạch Mã National Park: •1Ô; Rhododendron Trail, heading to Four Lakes, N16.18950 E107.85360, 1160.0± 7.7 m.a.s.l.; 9 March 2023, 11h02; among leaf litter; coll. M.K. Tan & V. T. Trung; VIET.23.63 (ZRC) (Fig. 12).
Remarks. This species is widely distributed in Vietnam. The specimen from Bạch Mã National Park, nevertheless, differs by the emarginated apex of posterior process of the pronotum (in typical form apex of process rounded) (Fig. 12). This is likely intraspecific variability.
Ecology. The leaf litter area at which the specimen was collected was not too far from a forest stream, but the area is clearly elevated and probably not part of the water table.
Distribution. So far, known only from central Vietnam in the provinces of Gia Lai and Thừa Thiên Huễ [new].
Type locality. Vietnam, Gia Lai Province, Buon Luoi.
