Topomyia (Suaymyia) roslihashimi, a new species, is described from specimens collected in Ulu Gombak, Peninsular Malaysia. The description includes illustrations of male genitalia, the pupa and some parts of the larva. The male of this species differs from other species of the subgenus in having unique modification of the scale patch on the 2nd tarsal segment of the hindleg. The larva is predacious, having greatly enlarged maxillae apparently adapted for grasping prey in bamboo internodes.
