Diagnosis

Carapace with two olive-green patches behind the ocularium ( Figure 1 View Figure 1 (A, D)). Lateral margins with an olive-green patch near the posterior margin ( Figure 1 View Figure 1 (A, C, D, F)). Olive-green patches on the lateral portion of areas II and III extended to the posterior margin of area III, almost joining medially ( Figure 1 View Figure 1 (A, C, D, F)). Medial part of free tergites with a pair of olive-green patches ( Figure 1 View Figure 1 (A, D)). Distal metatarsus I not swollen in the male ( Figure 2 View Figure 2 (D)). Dorsal apex of coxa IV with a large white patch ( Figures 1 View Figure 1 (A, C, D, F), 2(A)). Penis with VP trapezoidal, seemingly glabrous, with no obvious microsetae, two pairs of MS-E on its dorsolateral margin and stylus short ( Figure 4 View Figure 4 (A–C)).

Comparisons

Similar to Q. bella , Q. bimaculata , Q. discolor , Q. hermesi , Q. marginata and Q. horologium sp. n. due to the lack of enlarged tubercles on the posterior lateral margins of dorsal scutum. It differs from the latter species by the presence of olive-green patches near posterior margin, on the lateral portion of areas II and III, and on the medial portion of free tergites.
