Introduction
This species was described from the wet tropics of North Queensland, Sydney in New South Wales and Fiji. Synonymy of Sogatodes infestus Yang by Asche & Wilson (1990) extended the distribution to Taiwan.

Diagnosis
Dark fuscous or blackish; vertex, antennae, pronotum and scutellum, between the lateral keels, legs, commissure, yellowish-white. Tegmina dark fuscous, first and second, and the outer part of 3rd and 4th, apical cells, a little paler. Veins closely but flatly granulate. Frons laterally acute and subreflexed, gradually narrowing towards the base; the central keel strong but rather flat; antennae short, first segment scarcely half the length of the short second. There are 9 apical cells, 4 and 7 being pedicellate. Tibial spur with 13 spines. Male pygophor somewhat diamond-shaped, and thickened internally at the middle laterally, anal tube with 2 median, strong, straight spines, between which arises the upward and outwardly directed aedeagus. The genital styles are divergent, elongate, acute, not bifid. Length 3 mm. (Kirkaldy 1907)
This species is clearly placed in Latistria by virtue of the form of the male genitalia with the tapering apex to the parameres. The short-winged females are of different colour to the males; they are stramineous. (Asche & Wilson 1990)
