Diagnosis.
This new species can be differentiated from the other members of this group by the combination of the following characters: in males, 1) parameres short, extending only to middle portion of dorsal processes of aedeagus (
Figs 82, 83
); 2) ventral branch of parameres nearly 4/5 as long as dorsal branch (
Figs 82, 83
); 3) dorsal processes of aedeagus divergent and forming median cleft, with smooth surface (
Fig. 83
); in females, 4) subgenital plate with apical prominence distinct and lacking terminal emargination (
Fig. 84
); 5) laterotergites IX minute (
Fig. 84
); and 6) medigynium greatly constricted at basal 1/3 and forming distinct basal plate (
Fig. 85
).
