Differential diagnosis.
Within the genus
Enderleinia
the species can be separated from
E. fumipennis
by the colouration of the forewings which is hyaline with 3 brown areas in
E. bispina
and dominantly brown in
E. fumipennis
.
Description.
Measurements, colouration and habitus:
see

FIGURE 2.
Enderleinia bispina
terminalia, A) pygofer with subgenital plates in lateral view, B) dorsoposterior appendage of pygofer in posterolateral view, C) pygofer with subgenital plates in posterior view.
Male terminalia.
Pygofer heavily sclerotized in dorso-posterior part, sclerotized part and posterior margin of pygofer covered with yellowish setae. Dorso-posterior appendage of pygofer strongly toothed, extending both upwards and downwards from the point of attachment. Subgenital plates strongly sclerotized, broad basally and medially, narrowing towards the apex. Aedeagus cylindrical with distinctive scaling; apex dorsoventrally flattened, laterally narrowing towards the tip, apex directed anterodorsally. Parameres medially subtriangular, with a fingerlike apex, margins partly covered with long, yellow-brown setae.
