Notes
. This species is similar to

.
gladius
sp. nov
in body coloration, but easily distinguished by the aedeagus, which has a pair of horn-like processes apically and by the short pygofer hook and sinuate paramere.
Etymology.
The specific epithet is derived from Latin word “
anguis
”, which refers to the snake-like apex of the paramere.
