DIAGNOSIS: This species, which is known from three individuals (figs. 26, 27, 31A), can be distinguished by the distinctly more elongate fringe, fundal, and corbicular setae on the metatibia (figs. 27, 29, 30, 31A, B), the setae much longer than the maximum metatibal width. Likewise, the setae of the mesotibia are much longer than the maximum mesotibial width (up to about 1.5× mesotibial width) and none of the setae are capitate. The species is overall smaller than that of the
