Remarks.
This species is similar to
Midoria funebris
(Jacobi)
, but can be distinguished by the shape of the male pygofer side, the shape of the paramere and the shape of the aedeagal ventrosubapical processes (
Figs 13, 14, 15
).
Etymology.
The species name is derived from the shape of the male pygofer processes (hamate, hamatus).
