Taxonomic remarks
Sepsis sepsi bears some resemblance to Sepsis nitens and was initially thought to be such by Hennig but later identified it as a ‘Sepsis n.sp.’ (1941), and was formally described by Ozerov (2003). Sepsis sepsi can be distinguished from Sepsis nitens based on the row of four large spines on a large rounded ventromedial bump of the fore femur (Fig. 18) as opposed to three spines arranged triangularly on a slightly proclinate bump in Sepsis nitens (Fig. 21). The fore tibia (Fig. 19) lacks a rounded lobe present in Sepsis nitens (Fig. 22), and the surstylus differs in structure [cf. Sepsis sepsi (Fig. 20) and Sepsis nitens (Fig. 23)].
Distribution
Indonesia (Sumatra, Sumbawa), Vietnam (Ha Tay).
