3.1.11 Tetraophthalmus episcopalis (Chevrolat, 1852) ( Figs 2E , 3E , 4I–J )

Tegmen about 3.5 times as long as wide, slightly curved; lateral lobes long, about 1/4 times as long as tegmen, narrowed toward apex, about 2.3–2.4 times as long as wide; with long hairs at apical 1/2 and dense setae at base; roof very short, about 0.5 times as long as lateral lobes; apex protruding at middle; apical margin straight; ringed part converging at apex, apex slightly fishtail. Median lobe plus median struts slightly curved, about 4.6 times as long as wide; median lobes 1.6 times as long as median struts; dorsal plate slightly shorter than ventral plate, apex slightly pointed. Internal sac with rod at apex, rod thick and about 1/3 times as long as median lobe plus median struts. 8th abdominal tergaum transverse, 0.8 times as long as wide; apex slightly concave, with dense setae; 8th abdominal sternum slightly shorter and narrower than tergaum, apex round, with long setae on lateral sides; spiculum gastrale a little short, about 1.4 times as long as tergaum.
