Supplementary description

AEDEAGUS ( Fig. 9 View Fig D–F). Ventral process of each paramere wide, slightly narrowed apically, moderately hooked at apex; conjoint dorsal plate of parameres moderately developed, about half length of ventral process and as wide as half of the distance between outer margins of ventral processes, slightly narrowed apically, with nearly straight apical margin.

ABDOMINAL STERNITE VIII Oŀ ŀEMALE ( Fig. 11F View Fig ). Moderately protuberant middle of posterior margin, the middle protuberance moderately and triangularly emarginate at apex, forming a pair of median lobes, which are rounded at apices.

INTERNAL ORGAN Oŀ REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM ( Fig. 10C 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 slightly long and spiral, moderately thinned apically; spermathecal duct distinctly shorter than diverticulum and slightly thinner than basal portion of diverticulum; spermatheca composed of a spiral tube which is slightly longer than diverticulum, provided with a thin accessory gland which is nearly as long as the spiral tube of spermatheca; median oviduct situated in middle of vagina.

Remarks

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