Description
. Moderately small size to large robust species. Length male 6.40-9.00 mm., female 10.20- 10.50 mm. General habitus similar to
Olidiana
; aedeagus long, narrow, tubular with single, short to long, subapical or apical glabrous spine, sometimes with short teeth apically, rarely with spicules on shaft; pygofer glabrous or sparsely setose; subgenital plate sparsely setose apically, rarely with apical spine.
Etymology
. The name of the genus is a combination of Latin root
singilla
- [= single or one], -t- is the arbitrary consonant, and -
us
is suffix. The gender is masculine.
Remarks.
Singillatus
is distinguished from its closest relative,
Olidiana
, by the single, aedeagal spine which is entirely glabrous whereas in
Olidiana
the aedeagal spine varies from profusely setose to a few, very small teeth not easily seen.
The genus is widespread from
India
to
Indonesia
. Seventeen species are recognized including 2 new species.
