Etymology.
The name of the species is descriptive for the large pygofer, subgenital plate and connective and very long aedeagus.
Remarks.
From
W. kristenseni
to which it is similar,
W. magna
can be distinguished by very long, robust spine on the subgenital plate, a single subapical aedeagal seta (
2 in
W. kristenseni
) and the narrowed apex of the pygofer.
