Etymology. The specific name is derived from Latin word “apiculatus which means “thin and sharp, referring to the shape of the caudal apex of the paramere ( Fig. 154 View FIGURES 150–156 ).
Notes. The new species resembles Agnesiella (Draberiella) sinuata , but differs in the male connective having the central lobe distinct ( Fig. 152 View FIGURES 150–156 ), and in the aedeagal shaft without an irregularly undulate ventral margin subapically ( Fig. 155 View FIGURES 150–156 ).
