) yellowish brown. Gonocoxae nearly as long as or slightly longer than gonostyli, ventral medial margin with two distinct groups of setae. Gonostylus (
Fig. 8C
) slender, with a sub-apical and a sub-basal megasetae, inner margin slightly concave, with short fine setae. Tegmen membranous, higher than wide.Aedeagus short, slender (

Remarks.
Only
holotype
seen,
2♂♂
paratypes
[SM00129, SM00507] on loan and not examined in this study. This species resembles
Z.
(
Pharetratula
)
subdivergens
(Mohrig & Mamaev)
and
Z.
(
Pharetratula
)
divergens
(Mamaev)
in the subapical and sub-basal megasetae. However, it can easily be distinguished by the distinctly more slender gonostylus (
Fig. 8C
) and two unequal megasetae (
