♂ (holotype)

Sundarosa harmani Holloway sp. n.comb. n.

♂♂ 8mm. Externally the species resembles silati but differs in the male genitalia: the central process of the valve is much smaller, more spherical, more coarsely scobinate dorsally; the costal process is two-thirds the length of the costa, straight and almost parallel to it after the dorsal margin angles at right angles subbasally; the aedeagus is as in silati. A specimen from Peninsular Malaysia has the costal process somewhat shorter, broader, slightly curved, but is otherwise similar.
