Diagnosis. Males be can easily recognized by the ventrally directed protrusion situated medially on the clypeus (Fig. 13 C) and by the distinctively curled dorsal protrusion on the palpal bulb (Figs. 15 A). Females can be recognized by the rounded, elevated protrusion situated between the epigastric furrow and the groove connecting the posterior spiracles (fig. 93 in Platnick et al. (2011).
