Diagnosis

This species resembles Anaplecta omei , but can be distinguished from it by the following characters: 1) paraprocts simple, sheet-like in A. corneola Deng & Che sp. nov., while right paraproct with many short, stout spines on curly posterior margin in A. omei ; 2) right phallomere with horn-shaped structure (R1) in A. corneola Deng & Che sp. nov., absent in A. omei .

Etymology

The specific name is derived from the Latin word ‘ corneolus ’, referring to the right phallomere with a horn-shaped structure.
