Distribution: China (Taiwan).

Remarks. Based on the description and figures by Tsaur et al. (1988) and Van Stalle (1991), this species can be distinguished from other species of this genus by the following characters: screw-shaped aedeagus, distal end of aedeagus with a large S-shaped process with tongue-like apex; the pygofer without a medio-ventral process; basal portion of aedeagus has a long tongue-shaped process, curving ventro-caudally. In right lateral view, basal area of endosoma has two processes, an acute process pointing left and a tusk-like process directed ventrally. An acute, apical, basi-ventral process arises from the basal 1/3 of periandrium, directed cephalad.
