- Comparison. Judging from the descriptions of Quetarsius neu and Q. jeau (Smetana 1995), the new species is especially similar to Q. neu, but it can be easily separated both externally and by the structure of the aedeagus. Externally, Q. peteri differs by being reddish-brown (compared to black in the other two species), and by being larger overall (9-11.5 mm, cf. with Q. neu, 8.0-9.1 mm, and Q. jeau, 8.0-9.5 mm). Also, the new species has relatively longer elytra and wings, and possesses the apical palisade fringe on abdominal tergite 7. The aedeagus of Q. peteri lacks the apical carina on the dorsal side of the median lobe found in Q. neu and Q. jeau. Additionally, Q. peteri can be distinguished from Q. jeau by the pointed apex of the paramere compared to an obtuse apex in the latter species.
