Note. Based on the photograph of the male genitalia published in the original description, the aedagus differs distinctly from the typical shape present in all Motonerus species (see FIKÁČEK & SHORT 2006) and agrees well with the genus Oosternum in all characters seens on the photographs. For that reason, the species is transferred here to the genus Oosternum .
