Diagnosis.
Males of this species are characterized by a concave area formed between the elevated sides of the posterior process of tergum
7 in
which the recurved triangular process of tergum 8 rests (
Figs. 2, 3
). The aedeagus is heavily sclerotized and has a finger-shaped subapical projection with an abruptly constricted tip (
Figs. 4, 5
). Females of this species are characterized by sternum 7 having a dark medial sclerite on the produced subgenital plate (Fig.
106 in
Wu 1938
).
Remarks.
Our specimen agrees well with descriptions by
Wu (1938)
and
Chu (1929)
. In particular, features of the aedeagus illustrated by
Wu (1938)
reliably identify our fresh material.
