Diagnosis.
Tetraserica pseudouncinata
sp. n. differs from
T. neouncinata
by the left paramere being two thirds as wide as length of the antennal club (rather than one quarter as wide as in
T. neouncinata
).
Etymology.
The species name (adjective in the nominative singular) is derived from the combined Greek word pseudo- (false) and Latin word uncinatus, with reference to the uncinated shape of the right paramere.
