Diagnosis
Diagnosis. This species can be distinguished from the other species of Brounea by the following combination of characters: eye large, one-half length of temple (Fig. 2 e); male abdominal sternite VII with setose depression at middle (Fig. 3 p: arrow); antennomeres 4–7 longer than wide, 8–10 subquadrate; median lobe rectangular, shorter and narrower than parameres (Fig. 3 e); paramere three times broader than median lobe, weakly narrowed at distal one-third (Fig. 3 e).

Frontal sulcus shallow, reaching midpoint of eye (Fig. 2 e). Anterior and posterior frontal fovea small and round. Eye large, one-half length of temple. Thorax. Prosternum as long as wide, widest at one-third length. Elytra rectangular (Fig. 1 e). Hind wings of both sexes well-developed.
