Description
They differ from other Exolontha species by their brown integument, the hairiness of the forebody and scutellum and their more distinctly elongated clypeus, the narrow elytral ribs which are more or less obliterated by thicker hairs, the broad triangular pygidium and especially by the shape of the parameres.[3]
Etymology
The species name refers to its geographical origin, the province of Chiang Mai.[3]
