Diagnostic description
Holotype. Male (Fig. 7a). Length 3.03 mm. Color of antennae ferruginous, legs dark ferruginous, remainder black. Body subovate; in dorsal aspect and in profile with weak constriction between pronotum and elytron. Eyes dorsally approximate. Rostrum in basal 1/2 with median ridge and pair of sublateral ridge; intervening furrows with suberect scales; apical half subglabrous, punctate. Pronotum with disk subglabrous, with minute sculpture; in basal 1/3 laterally with indistinct edge lined with few coarse punctures; laterally anterior margin lined by few white scales, behind eye with row of coarse punctures. Elytra subglabrous, with minute punctures. Femora edentate; with distinct anteroventral ridge. Mesofemur and metafemur dorsally densely squamose with white scales. Metafemur with smooth dorsoposterior edge; subapically without stridulatory patch. Abdominal ventrites 1–2 medially concave, subglabrous, laterally with sparse white scales; ventrite 5 at middle with shallow impression, weakly punctate, with sparse short setae. Penis (Fig. 7b) with sides converging to slightly spatulate apex; transfer apparatus complex; endophallus with triradiate sclerites; apodemes 1.5× as long as body of penis; ductus ejaculatorius with distinct bulbus. Intraspecific variation. Length 2.68–3.53 mm. Female rostrum slender, subglabrous, sparsely punctate, in basal 1/4 with indistinct ridges and sparse suberect scale.

Distribution
Maluku Prov., Tanimbar (Yamdena Is, Larat Is, Selaru Is). Elevation: 40–140 m.
Biology
On foliage in lowland forest.
Etymology
This epithet is an adjective based on triradiate sclerites in the endophallus of the species.
Note
This species is closely related to Trigonopterus species 60 from Papua New Guinea from which it differs by the structure of the penis and a 17.8% p-distance of its cox1 sequence.
