Male terminalia. Sternite 8 ( Fig. 24 View Figs 24–30 ) rather broad proximally, positioning of the setae almost symmetrical, in more than one row; sternite 8 submedially with a darker, broad Y-shaped transverse thickening. Tergite 8 large, long, shield-shaped, with numerous rather long setae ( Fig. 25 View Figs 24–30 ). Tergo-gonocoxal complex broader than high ( Fig. 29 View Figs 24–30 ). Caudal lobes of tergo-gonocoxal complex blunt but serrate ( Fig. 26 View Figs 24–30 ), medial processes overlapping in dorsal view (the more lateral one is much smaller), both are blunt and better seen in caudal view ( Figs 29 View Figs 24–30 ). Setae situated cranially to processes extremely strong ( Fig. 26 View Figs 24–30 ). Gonostylus medium large ( Figs 27–28 View Figs 24–30 ), rather thick ( Fig. 27 View Figs 24–30 ), its more medial process blunt slightly curved, lateral process thick, almost perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of gonostylus. Aedeagus ( Fig. 30 View Figs 24–30 ) peculiar, rather long with broad blunt apex, ejaculatory apodeme even longer, with lateral (horizontal) lobes ( Fig. 30 View Figs 24–30 ).
Etymology. It was named after Gunung Mulu [= Mount Mulu] National Park in Sarawak.
