This species, newly recorded in China, was described based on two males from Vietnam (Solovyev and Witt 2009[1]). This is the first report and description of the female. The sclerotized exterior flap at posterior margin of ostium is large and elongate compared to that found in Monema flavescens and Monema tanaognatha.
