TAIWAN: Kaohsiung Hsien: 1 ♀, Taoyuan, Tengchih, 29 Mar.–1 Apr. 2001, leg. S. Nagashima; 1 Ƌ, same locality, 29 Mar. 2001, leg. K. Okajima; 1 ♀, same locality, 1 Apr. 2001, leg. K. Okajima (all in KURA).
Supplementary description
AEDEAGUS ( Fig. 13 View Fig G–I). Ventral process of each paramere moderately narrowed apically, slightly hooked at apex; conjoint dorsal plate of parameres well-developed, nearly as long as the length of ventral process and slightly wider than the distance between outer margins of ventral processes, slightly widened apically, with apical margin distinctly and triangularly emarginate in middle; laterophyses flattened and separated, nearly triangular at apices, adhered to dorsal side of median lobe, distinctly shorter than conjoint dorsal plate.
ABDOMINAL STERNITE VIII Oŀ ŀEMALE ( Fig. 16B View Fig ). Slightly protuberant in middle of posterior margin, the middle protuberance widely triangular at apex.
INTERNAL ORGAN Oŀ REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM ( Fig. 15B View Fig ). Vagina abruptly and strongly expanded and nearly globular at apical part, under which a very short and thin tube extended; diverticulum, spermatheca and accessory gland arising from the end of the duct of vagina; diverticulum moderately long, thin and spiral; spermathecal duct absent; spermatheca composed of a spiral tube, which is distinctly shorter than diverticulum, provided with a thin accessory gland which is distinctly longer than the spiral tube of spermatheca; median oviduct situated at base of vagina.
Remarks
In the original publication ( Wittmer 1982), this species was only illustrated with male antennae. Here the genitalia of both sexes and abdominal sternite VIII of female are illustrated and described for the first time.
