Diagnosis.

The apical portion of the median lobe (Figs 42-45 ) of the specimen examined here is a little wider than that of the type illustrated in the original description, which is considered as intraspecific variation. The species can be recognized from similar species by median lobe of the aedeagus without an apical or subapical tooth on the dorsal side.
