19-20mm, 21mm. This is the largest species noted in
Borneo; the facies is typical of the genus. Again, diagnostic features are in
the male abdomen: the processes of the eighth segment are short broad,
spoon-like; the process from the valve costa is digitate, blunt, slightly
flexed, well subapical: the ventral margin of the valve is stepped.
The genitalia of a putative Bornean female from the same
locality as the male are illustrated.
