Taxonomic notes.
The species is known from a single female specimen. The female terminalia of this species have not been studied here in order to avoid destroying the integrity of this unique specimen.
A short and not strongly pointed preocular part of the head, the claw without denticle, the collar about 1.5 times as wide as the diameter of the first antennal segment, and the rather deep punctures on the pronotum (
Fig. 41 D
) allow transferring this species into
Charagochilus
.
