Etymology.
The species name,
complexa
, is based on the complex structure of the subgenital plate internal ornamentation.
Diagnosis.
Palpal formula 1.0:1.2:1.0:1.25; radial and medial forks incomplete; distitarsus without apical projection; subgenital plate wider than long, with a narrow concavity between lobes; genital digit large, stretching from base to apex of subgenital plate.
Female.
Head (
Fig. 63
): vertex, frons and clypeus pilose; hair patch of frons extending to facet row 1 or 2; eye bridge with 4 facets; eyes separated by 1.5–2.0 facet diameters; 5–6 supra-ocular setae; interocular suture sometimes present as a weak line; clypeus with 2 stronger lateral alveoli; frontoclypeal suture absent; antenna incomplete; scape cylindrical, 1.5 the length of subspherical pedicel (
Fig. 64

Fig. 65
); labellum with 3 apical and 1 subapical teeth, and 1 or 2 lateral setae (
Fig. 66
