Diagnosis.
This species is similar to
Microserangium okinawense
, but can be separated from the latter by the inconspicuous inner arm of the penis capsule and triangular penis guide (Figs 70-73). In
Microserangium okinawense
, the inner arm of the penis capsule is small but distinct, and the penis guide is almost triangular with inner and outer margins arcuate (Figs 78-81).
