Notes
Identification based on illustrations of the external morphology and male genitalia of this species (Melichar 1903[1]: plate IV, figs 8a, b; Distant 1908[2]: fig. 148; Baker 1923[3]: plate 1, fig. 8; Anufriev 1971[4]: figs 20–22). Anufriev (1971)[4] did not illustrate the membranous shaft, only the paired ventrally recurved sclerotized processes. Aedeagus shaft imaged here.
