Notes.
The two male specimens listed above as ‘Other material’ are excluded from the
type
series and are tentatively considered conspecific, but differ from the
holotype
in lacking the digitiform posteroapical projection on the aedeagal shaft (
Fig. 11
B). The specimen from sample T2415 also lacks the pair of brown spots on the pronotum present in the other two specimens and has the processes of the aedeagal shaft both extended to the right of the shaft. Such variation is here considered intraspecific. The species name refers to the two black spots on the pronotum.
