E Ussuriysk, Gornotayezhnoe, Biological Station,
19.vii.2011
, leg. A. Rocienė, genitalia slide no. AG 439 (

);
1♂
(
holotype
), same locality,
19.vii.1982
, leg. R. Puplesis, genitalia slide no. AG367 (
ZIN
).
Morphology update.
Central plate of gnathos distinctly serrate (
Fig. 46
). Valva with a subbasal inner lobe, which was not documented/illustrated in the original description (
Puplesis 1984b
), nor visible in the
holotype
slide by Stonis & Rocienė 2013: Figs 161, 162.
Remark.
Although the
type
of the species was studied recently, due to the bad quality of visibility, the subbasal inner lobe of the valva was not clearly visible and thus was not mentioned. The structure is reported here for the first time.
