Remarks.
This species is unique in
Thienemanniella
with gonocoxite bearing many long setae along the outer margin instead of only one in typical
Thienemanniella
species; gonostylus relatively long and slender; sternapodeme not very strongly sclerotized, lateral sternapodeme and phallapodeme without attachment point; the wing of the
holotype
is damaged.
