Etymology.
The specific name comes from the Latin adjective “
renaria
”, meaning “kidney-shaped”, and refers to the shape of spermatheca in posterior view.
Diagnosis.
This species can be distinguished from other
Wolongia
species by the combination of the following characters: 1) spermatheca slightly sclerotized, kidney-shaped in posterior view (
Figs 27
C, 28D); 2) fertilization duct with expanded terminal (
Figs 27
D, 28C). This species is similar to
W. bimacroseta
n. sp.
, and the differences are discussed in the diagnosis of
W. bimacroseta
n. sp..
