Remarks.
Abdominal apodemes (
Fig. 17
a) long, extended to 5th sternite; male genitalia (
Fig. 17
b) elongated; pygofer side (
Fig. 17
b) with macrosetae at lower basal angle; apex of paramere (
Fig. 17
f) extremely long, basal part robust and short; connective (
Fig.
17
g) with manubrium very broad and concave at center. These characters suggested this species should not be included in
Kapsa
. Although this species resembles
T. decorata
in the shape of the anal tube appendage (
Fig. 17
c) and aedeagus (
Fig. 17
h, i), it is much more similar to
Tautoneura zygina
Dworakowska,
1994
in view of the length of abdominal apodemes, elongated male genitalia, presence of smaller macrosetae at lower basal angle of pygofer side, shape of paramere and connective. Based on the above analysis, it is more reasonable to place this species in
Tautoneura
.
