Diagnosis.

Males can be separated from those of Hamus cornutus sp. n. and Hamus kangdingensis sp. n. by the tiny distal process of the paracymbium (Dp) (thicker in the other two species), by the presence of a well-developed terminal apophysis process I (Ta-I) and by the thicker apophysis process II with a less sharp point (Ta-II) (see Ballarin and Li 2015: 180, fig. 1B, D vs. Fig. 1A, D vs. Fig. 3D, G). They are distinguished from those of Hamus mangunensis sp. n. by the narrower terminal apophysis process I (Ta-I) (fig. 1B, D vs. Fig. 5A, D). Females are distinguished from those of Hamus cornutus sp. n. by the nearly round spermathecae and the strongly twisted copulatory ducts (Cd) (fig. 2 A–C with Cd reported as Fd vs. Fig. 2 E–G), and from specimens of Hamus luzon sp. n. by the more pyriform shaped spermathecae and the longer and wider fertilization ducts (Fd) (fig. 2 A–C with Fd reported as Id vs. Fig. 4 D–F).
