Remarks.

Based on the original description by Viraktamath (1981), this species can be separated from other members of the subgenus mostly by the following features: the pygofer ventral margin has two spine-like processes distally, the tapered aedeagal shaft has an excavated distal margin in middle formed into a U-shaped in caudal view, and the dorsal connective has a bifid apex and caudally-directed triangular process from its inner ventral margin.
