Remarks. We identified our female specimen by comparing with the images of the female holotype and original description by Karny (1926a) using the following characters: the antennae dark brown with white rings, the anal area of the tegmen dark brown, just before the knees of all femora having a black dorsal incomplete ring; the female subgenital plate large and transverse, with four lobes along posterior margin, as well as the shape of ovipositor ( Figs 8A, 8B ). The male specimens resemble the female specimen by the colour patterns on the head, pronotum and those described above ( Figs 9A–C ). The male specimens also resemble the male description by the shapes of the last abdominal tergite and subgenital plate with similar styli; although the cercus of our male specimen differ by being more slender than in Karny (1926b) ( Figs 8C–E ).
