Figs. 1 N–O, 4 N–O 7 N–O, 10 D, 11 M–P, 26 A–H.

Taharana khasiensis Rao 1989: 64, Figs. 20−27.

Male genitalia. Pygofer somewhat triangular, setose in posterior half, caudodorsal process short, blade-like, with prominent tooth on dorsal margin at about midlength, apex bilobed with serrated margins (Figs. 26 G–H). Subgenital plate long with setae on lateral margin, narrowed in basal 1/3, with an apical spine preceeded by serrate margin in apical 1/5 (Fig. 26 D). Style broad at base, apophysis digitate apically (Fig. 26 E). Connective as wide as long with prominent median ledge extending entire length (Fig. 26 F). Aedeagus straight in dorsal view, sinuate in lateral view, gonopore subapical on lateral margin (Fig. 26 A–C).

Female.Seventh sternite posterior margin medially produced into convex lobe and lateral subtriangular projection (Fig. 10 D). Valvula I slightly curved, with sculptured area in apical ¼ (Fig. 11 M–N). Valvulae II with four basal teeth followed by a number of less prominent teeth on dorsal margin, toothed area confined to apical ¼ (Fig. 11 O–P).

Measurements. Male 6.4−6.5 mm long, 1.8 mm wide across eyes and 2.0 mm wide across posterolateral angles of pronotum. Female 7.9 mm long, 1.9 mm wide across eyes and 2.1 mm wide across posterolateral angles of pronotum.

Material examined. HOLOTYPE ♂, INDIA: Satmowedon, 5.xii.1977, COll. K.R. Rao (ZSIC) . Other material: INDIA: Mizoram: 1 ♂, 1 ♀, Kolasib, 24.iv.2012, Mercury vapor light, Rony, K. (NPC).

Remark. Male genitalia of this species agrees well with the generic characters of Glaberana and hence the generic transfer. G. khasiensis resembles G. acuta sp. nov. and differs from it as discussed under that species.
