Measurements. Total length: holotype male 7.8 mm; paratype, male (n = 1) 8.1 mm.
diagnosis
Diagnosis. Pygofer (Fig. 22 G) with apex broad and rounded. Subgenital plate (Fig. 22 H) with few filiform setae near outer margin and a longer apical group on dorsal surface. Style (Fig. 22 K) apex tapered, curved dorsally and acute. Aedeagus (Fig. 22 L, M) apodemal process slender at base and enlarged subapically; shaft apex with pair of subapical processes short, about 1 / 5 length of shaft, curved ventrally.
etymology
Etymology. The new species name comes from the Latin word " occultatum " and means hidden. This name was chosen because the studied specimens were miss identified as Curtara apena.
