This species is nearer to Termatophylidea pilosa Renter and Poppius, 

 but can be easily distinguished by the more rounded hemielytra, by 

 the absence of tubercle on apex of scutellum and embolium, by the 

 opaque hemielytra, and by the color. From the other species it is 

 differentiated by its color, eyes set close to pronotum, and smaller 

 size.
