This species resembles

, but the pygofer dorsal appendage is broad and straight, the anal tube appendage is curved caudad, the apex of the paramere is bifurcated, the aedeagal shaft is more slender with a serrated, compressed ventral protrusion, and lacks a ventral process.
Etymology.
The specific name is derived from the Latin word “serratus”, referring to serrated edge of aedeagal ventral protrusion.
