Comment.

Examined type specimens of this species are listed in an addendum in Assing and Feldmann (2014). The previously undescribed female sexual characters are as follows: female tergite VIII (Fig. 4C) with shallow postero-median impression and distinctly concave posterior excision; female sternite VIII (Fig. 4D) about as long as broad, posterior margin concave in the middle; sclerotized structure in female genital segments (Fig. 4E) symmetric and very weakly sclerotized. For illustrations of Domene firmicornis see Figs 2B, 4 and Assing and Feldmann (2014: figures 36-43).
