This species is characterized by its deep and wide V-shaped excavation on ventral rim of genital capsule; caudolateral lobes of genital capsule are truncate and the inner angles (mediolateral region) of genital capsule not produced inwards; parameral crown is located right angle to the main axis of body. Though the original description mentioned the locality of holotype as northern areas (present Gilgit-Baltistan ), Pakistan , the region Gilgit-Baltistan is considered to be part of Ladakh as per the new political map of India released by Survey of India ( Survey of India 2020). Hence treated as a species from India.
