Etymology

From Latin, striatus , meaning stripe, referring to the three dorsal brown bands on thorax of male.

Diagnostic characters

Clinotanypus striatus sp. nov. differs from other Clinotanypus species by the combination of the following characters. Male: thorax with 3 dorsal brown bands, anal point bilobed and gonostylus with 6 setae. Pupa: base of scar with shagreenation and segment VII with 6 taeniae.
