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

Taharana khasiensis Rao 1989: 64 View in CoL , Figs. 20−27 View FIGURES 20 View FIGURES 21 View FIGURES 22 View FIGURES 23 View FIGURES 24 View FIGURES 25 View FIGURES 26 View FIGURES 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 View FIGURES 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 View FIGURES 26 ). Style broad at base, apophysis digitate apically ( Fig. 26 E View FIGURES 26 ). Connective as wide as long with prominent median ledge extending entire length ( Fig. 26 F View FIGURES 26 ). Aedeagus straight in dorsal view, sinuate in lateral view, gonopore subapical on lateral margin ( Fig. 26 View FIGURES 26 A–C).

Female.Seventh sternite posterior margin medially produced into convex lobe and lateral subtriangular projection ( Fig. 10 D View FIGURES 10 ). Valvula I slightly curved, with sculptured area in apical ¼ ( Fig. 11 View FIGURES 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 View FIGURES 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.
