03F20D7D584BFF8DFF084AB7FAFFE296.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis and description: Diagnosed at generic level by the very large and stout body, large head that is narrower or more or less equal in width to the elytra, parallel sided neck, deep frontal excavation that results in the occiput being more or less at the same level as the neck, less prominent eyes, large and broad labrum, small short and blunt mandibles, antennae short and black with the 3 rd and 4 th segments ringed in red, pronotum robust with a pronotal index of 1.5 to 2.5, elytra welded and inseparable, elytral apex rounded, aedeagus rounded to squared at the base and tapered towards the apex. Included in the subgenus Indotricondyla as the body length is greater than 19 mm, pronotum is long and subrectangular in shape, elytra long and subparallel with a weak gibbosity. The species is defined by the smooth head, smooth pronotum that is barely striated, elytral sculpture formed by small and shallow cavities like the tiles of the roof. It differs from the most closely related taxa, Tricondyla (Indotricondyla) granulifera, by having shorter elytra that are less narrow in the middle, less rugose elytral sculpture and by having a smaller body size (Fig. 2).	en	Abeywardhana, Lakmini, Mallawarachchi, Yashas, Dangalle, Chandima Deepani (2021): The arboreal tiger beetles (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae) of Sri Lanka recorded from recent investigations.
