Diagnosis. The new species is most similar to Varitrella ( Cantotrella ) sukau Gorochov, 2014 from Sukau in Kinabatangan by the shape of male genitalia, but differs by the shape of ectoparamere. It also differs from V. sukau by the shape and pattern of anal plate. From species found nearby, this new species also differs from Varitrella ( Cantotrella ) tawau Gorochov, 2014 from Tawau (south of Tabin Wildlife Reserve) by the oval patch on anal plate nearly touching other and fusing (instead of widely spaced apart), the dorso-anterior pseudepiphallic spine (ds) larger and the pseudepiphallic paramere [ectoparamere] not short and membranous; and from Varitrella ( Cantotrella ) suikei from Sepilok (north of Tabin Wildlife Reserve) by the dorso-anterior pseudepiphallic spine (ds) and the latero-apical lobular parts larger and more robust as well as the calling song (see above). The pronotum and FW colouration are somewhat similar to Varitrella ( Cantotrella ) orion Tan & Gorochov, 2014 .

Distribution. Known only from type locality, Tabin Wildlife Reserve (Borneo, Sabah State ). Calling song ( 1 male , in captivity, 32.0°C) ( Fig. 19 ). The calling song consists of a well-defined echemesequence made up of 6 or 7 echemes. The echeme-sequence has an average duration of 1.23±0.10 s (1.10–1.39 s). The interval between consecutive echeme-sequence is 7.4±1.2 s (6.1–10.5 s). Each echeme consists of two closelyspaced syllables and has an average duration of 114.7±11.1 ms (100.1–127.9 ms). The interval between consecutive echemes is 92.3±11.6 ms (72.6–107.5 ms). Each syllable has an average duration of 45.4±5.0 ms (36.3–53.1 ms) and the interval between consecutive syllables is 17.5±4.5 ms (9.5–22.2 ms). The dominant frequency is 6.28±0.03 kHz (6.20–6.32 kHz).
