Remarks
.
Caloapenesia sabeli
sp. nov.
resembles
C. thailandiana
by present ocellus large; lateral stalk of hypopygium rectangular; aedeagus uniformly wide. But
C. sabeli
sp. nov.
presents temple divergent; ocellus and eye smaller than
C. thailandiana
; lateral lobe of posterior margin of hypopygium inconspicuous.
Caloapenesia sabeli
sp. nov.
also resembles
C. supra
sp. nov.
by present temple divergent; ocellus large; teeth large; lateral stalk of hypopygium rectangular; aedeagus uniformly wide. But
C. sabeli
sp. nov.
presents eye very smaller than in
C. supra
sp. nov.
; lateral lobe of posterior margin of hypopygium inconspicuous.
