Supplementary description

AEDEAGUS ( Fig. 6 View Fig A–C). Ventral process of each paramere wide, slightly narrowed apically, moderately hooked at apex; conjoint dorsal plate of parameres slightly reduced, about half length of ventral process and as wide as one-third of the distance between outer margins of ventral processes, slightly narrowed apically, with straight apical margin.

ABDOMINAL STERNITE VIII Oŀ ŀEMALE ( Fig. 5H View Fig ). Distinctly protuberant in middle of posterior margin, the middle protuberance moderately and triangularly emarginate at apex, forming a pair of median lobes, which are widely subrounded at apices.

INTERNAL ORGAN Oŀ REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM ( Fig. 8A View Fig ). Vagina stout, abruptly thinned and extended into a slightly long duct at ventroapical portion; diverticulum and spermathecal duct arising from the end of the duct of vagina; diverticulum moderately long, spiral and distinctly thinned apically; spermathecal duct distinctly shorter than diverticulum and thinner than basal portion of diverticulum; spermatheca composed of a spiral tube which is distinctly longer than diverticulum, provided with a thin accessory gland which is slightly shorter than the spiral tube of spermatheca; median oviduct situated in middle of vagina.

Remarks

In the original publication ( Wittmer 1982), the aedeagus was illustrated in dorsal view, here it is illustrated in ventral, dorsal and lateral views and described in detail. Its abdominal sternite VIII and genitalia of female are illustrated and described for the first time.
