Remarks

This species belongs to the collini group based on having few dorsocentral setae (2+3) that are relatively strong, and prescutellar acrostichal setae, with the male having the largest and most distinctive development of the hind trochanter known so far. It is about half as long as the hind femur. Photographs of both sexes were included with the original description ( Ebejer 2021a: 9, figs 12–14).
