Distribution: China ( Taiwan).

Remarks. Based on the description and figures by Tsaur et al. (1988) and Van Stalle (1991), this species can be distinguished from other species of this genus by the following characters: screw-shaped aedeagus, distal end of aedeagus with a large S-shaped process with tongue-like apex; the pygofer without a medio-ventral process; basal portion of aedeagus has a long tongue-shaped process, curving ventro-caudally. In right lateral view, basal area of endosoma has two processes, an acute process pointing left and a tusk-like process directed ventrally. An acute, apical, basi-ventral process arises from the basal 1/3 of periandrium, directed cephalad.
