Diagnosis. This new species can be differentiated from the other members of this group by the combination of the following characters: in males, 1) basal lobe of gonostyli looking blunt because its acute apex greatly curved dorsad and unobservable from ventral aspect ( Fig. 170 View Figs 167–176 vs. observable in other species); 2) dorsal branch of parameres with inner spines longer than diameter of parameres ( Fig. 174 View Figs 167–176 ); 3) hamulus of aedeagus greatly developed, subtriangular, as wide as ventral valves ( Figs 172, 174 View Figs 167–176 ); 4) dorsal processes of aedeagus with narrow median cleft and each bearing pointed inner apex ( Fig. 174 View Figs 167–176 ); in females, 5) subgenital plate subtriangular, with its membranous apical prominence shallowly emarginated terminally ( Fig. 175 View Figs 167–176 ); 6) laterotergites IX bilobed with shorter inner lobe and much larger and longer outer lobe ( Fig. 175 View Figs 167–176 ); and 7) medigynium with posterior arms approximately as long as main plate, and apodemes of axis extending beyond main plate and slightly divergent ( Fig. 176 View Figs 167–176 ).

Measurements (mm). Male (n = 2): AtL 10.6–10.8, AbL 11.0–11.2, BdL 14.5–14.6, FL 13.2–13.3, FW 3.0, HL 11.9–12.0, HW 3.0. Female (n = 4): AtL 11.0–12.2, AbL 6.5–7.0, BdL 11.0–11.5, FL 13.0–13.8, FW 3.0–3.2, HL 11.8–12.5, HW 3.0–3.1.
