ResumoA new species, Topomyia (Suaymyia) kelabitense is described from Bario and Ba'Kelalan highlands in Sarawak, Malaysia. The adult male and female, pupa and larva are described in detail and illustrations of the male genitalia, pupa and larva are provided. This species is easily distinguished from all known species of the subgenus Suaymyia by the male genitalia and larval characters. The larva is predacious with well developed maxillae apparently adapted for grasping prey. Larvae were collected from the leaf axils of Daun Itip (Phrynium capitatum), a common plant found in mountain forests.
