03E6AF60AC22FFEBBB2CFBB1FE41720E.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis The habitus of the new species is similar to that of congenerically known species, but the dorsal sclerite and dorso-median lobe shapes of the male genitalia are distinctly different, the basal area of the dorsal sclerite is narrow, the anterior margin slightly concave, the basal third nearly parallel on both sides, then gradually widens, the apical third approximately twice as wide as the basal area, the lateral margin parallel, the posterior margin broad and deeply concave (Fig. 2 A).
