Comparison
Very similar to Probles korusa sp. n. but the ovipositor is very weakly sinuate apically, with the extreme apex neither especially thin nor strongly upcurved (Fig. 24), whereas in Probles korusa sp. n. the ovipositor is very thin and strongly upcurved at the extreme apex (Fig. 18). See also Comparison section for Probles korusa sp. n.
