Remarks.
Only the male sex was known for this species. Quite recently I have obtained
four specimens
for determination, including
one female
collected near of the
type
locality. The sexual dimorphism is represented only weakly: the female differs only in the straight, unmodified meso- and metatibiae and in the slightly incised apical margin of the anal ventrite.
Distribution.
