Identification. This species was identified from descriptions and illustrations found in the revision by Holzenthal & Blahnik (2006). The phallicata of this species is distinctively shaped, appearing wide preapically in lateral view and narrow basally in dorsoventral view. Additional characters, such as the elongate, apically bifurcate processes of tergum X, the shape of the paramere spine, and the elongate, narrowed ventral apex of sternum VIII assist in the diagnosis of this species ( Holzenthal & Blahnik 2006).
