seems similar to our new species in the pair of prongs at the sides and the sclerotized lateral knob. However, the new species can be easily separated by the presence of the two sclerotized bands on the epiproct dorsal sclerite and the outer lobe of the paraproct without a strongly sclerotized large hook and a sharp process. In terms of

, the epiproct dorsal sclerite with a pair of lateral sclerites and the medially crossed grooves are quite similar to the new species, which may be distinguished by the pair of S-shaped sclerites with a sharp tip and the outer lobe of paraproct which is broad and blunt (without being finger-shaped) with a slightly curved apex. Above all, the sclerotized sclerite plate beneath the epiproct make it simple to identify it as a new species.
