Male terminalia are very similar, in spite of the significant differences observed, which were provided in the key and in the diagnosis, while the female sternite VII shape provides additional support for recognizing two distinct taxonomic entities. Considering the available specimens, we are confident about treating them as two distinct species. On the other hand, the large concavities on the rami of basiventral process of aedeagus of
