Description
. Moderately long, generally slender species. Length of male 7.40-8.70 mm. General habitus similar to
Taharana
; aedeagus generally very long, narrowly tubular, glabrous except for small tuft of very short, subapical teeth on dorsal margin; pygofer often with long caudodorsal process, sometimes with small digitate caudoventral process, glabrous or sparsely setose apically on ventral margin; style with short to long apophysis; subgenital plate often long, with or without apical spine, if present usually very distinct, sparsely setose subapically to apically.
Etymology.
The name is a combination of the Latin root
glaber
- [= smooth or bald] and feminine suffix -
ana
. The gender is feminine.
Remarks.
The narrow tubular, glabrous shaft of the aedeagus will separate
Glaberana
from all other genera. Twenty one species, including 6 new species and 15 previously assigned to
Taharana
are assigned to the genus. Twelve species occur in
China
, the remainder in
Laos
,
Thailand
,
Malaysia
and
Indonesia
.
