The study deals with correct taxonomic placement, detailed systematic redescription and illustrations of Monophadnus caerulescens Cameron. This species is now considered under the genus Eutomostethus Enslin. The female counter part of this species is also associated with its male (holotype) for the first time. It is distinguished from all the species described under this genus on the basis of a combination of some significant characters which are: body black with bluish tinge, antenna1 segments 3 and 4 as 2:1, UOL:UCL = 5:4, head narrowing behind eyes, postocellar area broader than long as 3:2, and supraantennal pit crescent shaped in outline.
