species group
Both sexes of the three species of this group with 5–6 setae in each aster on sternite II. The male genital sac sclerite (
Fig. 5
) broader and shorter than for the
klickai
group, 0.050–0.060 long, without a median dark line, and each apical side with a pronounced outwardly curved process. The female has the posterior margin of its subgenital plate strongly spiculate and shorter inner terminal setae on tergite IX inserted more toward the midline, 0.030–0.070 (mean = 0.042; n = 25) long, inserted 0.055–0.095 (mean = 0.069; n = 27) from base of each very long seta (
Fig. 6
).
