Female ABDOMINAL STERNITE VIII ( Fig. 3F ). Moderately narrowed posteriorly, lateroapical angles widely triangular, posterior margin shallowly and roundly emarginate in middle and feebly emarginate on both sides. INTERNAL ORGAN OF REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM ( Fig. 8B ). Vagina stout, with median oviduct situated at ventroapical part, vagina abruptly narrowed in apical part and extended into a short duct which diverticulum and spermathecal duct are arising from; diverticulum relatively short, about 0.32 times adult body length, evenly thinned apically, slender tube-shaped and spiral; spermathecal duct slightly long but much shorter than diverticulum; spermatheca slender tube-shaped and spiral, obviously thinner than spermathecal duct and slightly longer than diverticulum, with basal part extended into a short tube, at opening of accessory gland. Accessory gland thin in basal part and the remainder moderately thin, slightly shorter than spermatheca. Fig. 5. Habitus, dorsal view. A . Stenothemus jindrai Švihla, 2004 , holotype, ♂ (NMPC). B .
