Etymology

The specific name is derived from Latin aeneus, meaning "copper" or "bronze", and micans, meaning "shining", referring to the metallic sheen of the species elytra.[1]

Description

The holotype measured 2.25mm long. General coloration is black, with rust-colored antennae and dark rust-colored legs. The elytra have a bronze sheen.[1]

Range

It is found in the Indonesian West Nusa Tenggara province, on the islands of Sumbawa and Lombok, around elevations of 830–1,350 metres (2,720–4,430 ft).[1]
