diagnosis
Diagnosis. This species is most similar to Procantonnetia borneensis Kistner, 1993 in having pronotum and elytra coarsely punctate, but is distinguishable from the latter by the presence of setae on the pronotum and the number of the macrosetae on the abdominal tergites (Kistner, 1993: 269).
etymology
Etymology. Combination of the Latin opacus (= opaque, matte) and thorax (= thorax), bringing attention to the opaque thorax.
