C o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s: The "crista apicalis" of the aedeagus push in before is similar to that of the aedeagus of
Z. bilobifer
PACE 1988
from
Guinea-Bissau
. The aedeagus of the new species is tri-sinuate on the ventral side, that of
Z. bilobifer
bisinuate. The fourth antennomere of the new species is longer than wide, that of
Z. bilobifer
is transverse. The first free tergite of the male has two wide median lobes as in
Z. bilobifer
, but it is deprived of long lateral appendices, present on the first free urotergite of the male of
Z. bilobifer
.
E t y m o l o g y: The name of "civil" of the new species is in contrast to the name of "warlike" of the species above described.
