Male genitalia (
Fig. 68
). Uncus slender, weakly expanded subterminally, armed with several spines; socius broad, bristled; valva rather slender medially, with spiny ventral lobe extending beyond basal cavity; aedeagus large; cornuti two nondeciduous spines.
Remarks. Described from
6 specimens
, male and female. Four specimens are present in the collection of RMCA. The species is transferred to
Endothenia
Stephens, 1852
on the basis of the presence of a spiny ventrobasal process of the valva, the structure of the tegumen, and the spiny end of the uncus.
