Figs 21, 22
). Subgenital plate with 2 basal short macrosetae, 5 peg-like setae and one twisted central apical seta (
Figs 23, 24

Notes.
This species belongs to the
germari
group. It runs to
Aguriahana daliensis
Chou and Ma
in the key to
Aguriahana
by
Zhang, Chou and Huang (1992)
but can be distinguished from the latter by its expanded aedeagal shaft (
Figs 26, 27
) and spur-like subapical tooth of the paramere (
Fig. 23
).

Etymology.

” which refers to the single process of the aedeagal shaft.
