Manoba
carrei
sp. n.
7-8mm. This is a slightly smaller species than marshalli, with valves
broader centrally than in marshalli, slightly angled there rather than
curved, and the apex is not truncated. The harpe is angled obtusely upwards as
in marshalli but the portion distal to the angle is acute rather than
blunt, triangular rather than digitate. The aedeagus has the apex more strongly
produced beyond the vesica to a point, with slight bulbosity but no triangular
flange. The vesica is as in
marshalli.
