Diagnosis: Paratelius snizeki n. sp. is similar to P. emasensis n. sp. in the testaceous to reddish brown coloration of the cranium and pronotum. These species differ in the shape of antennomeres, which are more robust and acutely serrate in P.snizeki. Male genitalia differ in the relatively shorter phallus of P. snizeki (Figs 1 A-B and 1C-D).

Head small, hypognathous; eyes small, hemispherically prominent; frontal interocular distance 3.04 times maximum eye diameter. Antennae slender, flattened, surpassing by 3 antennomeres apex of elytra. Antennomeres 3–11 gradually more slender; apical antennomere eliptical. Elytra slender, 3.69 times longer than width at humeri, parallel-sided, with four well developed primary costae, covered with dense brown pubescence. Legs moderately long, slender, flattened, densely pubescent. Male genitalia trilobate; phallus very long, slightly turned upwards; parameres short, reaching one fifth of phallic length; phallobase small and subtle (Figs 1 A-B). Measurements: BL 5.8 mm, PW 1.0 mm, PL 0.8 mm, WH 1.3 mm, Edist 0.64 mm, Ediam 0.21 mm. Distribution: Malaysia: Sabah. Etymology: The specific epithet is a patronym in honor of M.
