, male terminalia. (a) epandrium, cercus and surstylus (lateral view); (b) surstylus (ventral view); (c, d) hypandrium, aedeagus and aedeagal apodeme (ventral and lateral views); (e) gonopods. Scale lines = 0.1 mm.
Diagnosis
Aedeagus strongly broadened mediolaterally, wider than long, not bifid apically (
Figure 8
(c, d)). The 3.9% interspecific genetic distance to

dawa
sp. nov.
is one of the smallest interspecific distances ascertained within this subgenus; see under that species.
Description
Clypeus brownish yellow. Palpus yellow. Mesoscutum yellow medially, with two pairs of broad, brown to dark brown longitudinal stripes sublaterally (
Figure 4
(b)). Scutellum brown to dark brown medially, yellow along margin (
Figure 4
(b)). Katepisternum yellow, slightly brownish anteriorly. Wing greyish basally, greyish brown distally, posterior crossvein and neighbouring longitudinal veins darkened (Figure 2(f)). Abdominal tergites: 1st yellow; 2nd and 3rd yellow medially, dark brown posterolaterally, anteromedially with one small brownish patch on 2nd; 4th to 6th tergites mostly dark brown, yellow along anterior margins, with brownish yellow to yellow longitudinal stripes medially (
Figure 5
(g)). Male terminalia: Epandrium nearly rectangular on posterolateral corners, with dense pubescence and setae (
Figure 8
(a)). Cercus lacking pubescence (
Figure 8
(a)). Surstylus small lobe-shaped, only with several setae distally (
Figure 8
(a, b)). Parameres absent (
Figure 8
(c, d)). Aedeagus dorsally sclerotized, apically slightly curved ventrad in lateral view, with sparse pubescence ventrally and one pair of small projections above peristome, slightly expanded outward on both sides of peristome (
Figure 8
(c, d)). Gonopods broadened to hood-shaped, not bilobed apically (
Figure 8
(e)).
