Diagnosis : The males of Antikuna majkusi sp. nov. differ from all other congeners in having uniformly dark brown legs ( Figure 19 ), a spatulate retrolateral branch of tibial apophyses without spines and bipartite tegular protuberance of palpal bulb (a deep depression divides the protuberance in two parts) ( Figure 22 ).
