in general morphology, however, they can be distinguished by the following characteristics: 1) pronotum of the former chestnut brown, posterior and narrow lateral borders shiny black, but lateral region of the pronotum of the latter species yellowish brown with dark U-shaped maculae at disc; 2) supra-anal plate of the former specialized with setal tuft near the posterior margin, but the latter without; 3) two styli similar and cylindrical, both situated at the posterior margin of subgenital plate, while the right stylus of the latter, arising at the protrusion of subgenital plate.
