Remarks.
This species is close to
Salka belanda
Sohi &

(1994)
, but differs in having the aedeagal shaft without paired subapical processes (
Figs 13, 14
); the dorsal apodeme of aedeagus with a single fingerlike process (
Fig. 13
); and the connective U-shaped, without central lobe (
Fig. 15
).
Etymology.
The specific name is derived from the Latin word “
cambera
”, referring to the C-shaped aedeagal shaft (
Fig. 13
).
