Zongxu Li. Etymology. The specific name is derived from the Latin word “asper”, meaning “rough”, referring to the rough surface of the tegular apophysis; adjective. Diagnosis. This new species can be distinguished from all other Jacaena species by the large and thick tegular apophysis, which has a granulated surface ( Fig. 2F ). Description. Male ( Holotype ).
