Remarks.
The
syntypes
are missing (per. comm. with Dr. Arnaldo Bordoni, Dr. Jiri Janak, and Dr. Aleksey Gusakov). However, the characters of the aedeagus and male genital segments (
Fig. 8
, cf. Jiri’s drafted drawing on a male
syntype
) could be easily recognized as different from congeneric species.
