Only the eleventh antennomere is yellow in the new species, while in callicornis the tenth and the eleventh ones are yellow. The proximal portion of the spermatheca of the new species is slightly elongate, while in callicornis is very long.
Etymology: The name of the new species means “of Linsay mountain”.
