genitalia (See A faucium sp.n) are characterised by a rather rugose,
triangular uncus, a valve with a small spur at the dorsal apical angle, and a
long, slender harpe that is upcurved and apically acute in minutissima.

Sarawak, probably in the lowlands. A further specimen was taken at 1000m in
lower montane forest on G. Mulu.
