Remarks.
This species is similar to
Midoria lamellata
Li & Li
, but can be distinguished by the shape of the male pygofer side, the shape of the paramere and the shape of the aedeagal ventrosubapical processes (
Figs 17, 18, 19
).
Etymology.
The species name is derived from the Latin word
torsiva
(tortuose, screwlike), indicating the shape of the aedeagal shaft processes.
