Diagnosis Collum with one row of 3+3 setae (anterior row); paraterga wing-like (not knife-shaped); metaterga 2–19 with 2+2 tubercles in anterior row and 2+2 tubercles in posterior row; male femora 5 and 6 modified; lamina lateralis (ll) distally rough, anterolaterally with 2–3 distinct furrows; process (plm) of lamina medialis very short. Similar in these respects to Desmoxytes perakensis. Differs from that species by having body black or brownish black contrasting with yellowish brown paraterga; paraterga narrower; process (plm) of lamina medialis indistinctly demarcated from distal lobe (dlm); distal lobe (dlm) of lamina medialis with one lamella [details]
