Remarks.

Based on the illustrations (Figs 1-19) and description by Ding and Chen (2001), this species can be distinguished from other species of the genus by the following characters: pygofer with three medioventral processes; anal segment without process, suspensorium ring-shaped. This species is also similar to Indozuriel rostri Ding & Zhou, 1973 in appearance, but can be easily distinguished from the latter by the parameres without curved apically (parameres with curved apically in I. rostri ). This species is also similar to Javesella salina (Haupt, 1924) in the shaped of aedeagus, but can be easily distinguished from the latter by the pygofer having a medioventral processes (pygofer without medioventral process in J. salina ).
