two transversally elongated tubercles on apical half and two horns in
middle; horns and tubercles on margin of central depression; anteromedial
horn with ‘‘arms’’ robust, with medial anterior
notch. No morphological characters were found to diagnose females of
this species, females can be identified only by association with males.
