Description

Diagnosis: Males can be distinguished by the rounded flagellum, with a conical posterior prominence and with two dorsal prominences which are rounded subdistally (Figs 1 – 3); by the palp trochanter with a distal conical projection (arrow in Fig. 6). Females can be distinguished by the spermathecae having conical lateral lobes, and the long and curved central lobes appearing like an upside down “ J ” (Fig. 8); and by the chitinized arch ending in pointed projections (arrow in Fig. 8).
