Etymology. The name refers to the epiproct apex which in this species is notched and appears biserrate in dorsal aspect.
Diagnosis. The truncate cercal apices, biserrate epiproct apex and setal row on tergum 9 appear distinctive for this species which does not appear to be closely related to any known species.
