Remarks
. This species was originally described from
Vietnam
by
Cao
et al
. (2007)
and the aedeagal sac, which was not everted and described in the original description, but subsequently described by
Stark & Sivec (2008)
. The head pattern of the male, the dorsal terminalia, and the strongly sclerotized aedeagal tube agree well with figures provided by
Cao
et al
. (2007)
and
Stark & Sivec (2008)
. The aedeagal sac is membranous with the apical half armed with minute spines. Additionally, our single male specimen has a patch of sensilla basiconica on tergum 6 posteromedially.
