Diagnosis
Diagnosis. The most distinctive male features of this species are the mostly black clypeus, brown paramere dististyle, horizontally oriented volsella and flagellomere XI more than 2.3 x as long as broad. The dark clypeus, long flagellomere XI and brown dististyle most closely resemble that of harinhalai, and the shape of the aedeagus and paramere resembles that of castanea.
Description
Male. Body length 4–8 mm. Head: inner eye margin slightly emarginate; flagellomere I as long as broad, flagellomere II 1.5 x as long as broad, flagellomere XI 2.3–2.4 x as long as broad; flagellomeres VIII–X each with one tyloid; clypeal apex ventral truncation slightly indented medially. Mesosoma: hindleg unmodified. Metasoma: segment 1 longer than broad; sternum VIII thickened apex about as broad as long, apical margin spinose. Genital capsule (Figs. 6, 16, 26): gonocoxa broadest submedially in dorsal view; aedeagus broad 3.5 –4.0x as long as broad, apical lobes widely separated; volsella dorsal lobe extending horizontally from behind dorsal lobe of gonocoxa toward paramere, largely obscured by paramere and gonocoxa in lateral view; paramere basal part 2.5 –3.0x as long as broad and narrowest submedially apical lobe 3 x as long as broad in ventral view. Punctation: body with dense, small, contiguous punctures, except clypeus medially nearly impunctate. Vestiture: silvery. Coloration: body black, with pale whitish, brown or dark yellow markings; flagellum black; clypeus entirely black or black with small pale lateral spot, sometimes with paler spot medially; scape with small apical yellowish band; flagellum dark; inner eye margin with whitish band; mandible reddish medially; mandible black to dark reddish brown; palps dark basally, whitish apically; small whitish spot behind eye near vertex; pronotum with transverse whitish band along posterior margin and small ventral whitish spot; femoral apices and tibial bases whitish; foretibia and tarsus red; mid and hindtarsi whitish basally becoming brown apically; paramere lobe dark brown; tegula whitish; wing veins whitish near base, remainder dark brown; wing membrane untinted.
