description
Male genitalia (Fig. 6) can be distinguished from those of Ancistroides othonias (Fig. 3) and A. nigrita (Fig. 5) by the following characters: in lateral view, uncus as long as tegumen, lower branch hooked and well developed; transverse part of gnathos obviously longer than longitudinal part; each side of uncus curved inwards in dorsal view, distal half V-shaped; in lateral view of valva, dorsal edge wavy, distal edge protrudent; harpe rubost and tapered; distal branch of valva finger-like and pointed in lateral view, while bifid and decorated with tiny spines in dorsal view, its distal triangular lobe much wider; suprazonal sheath of aedeagus bent downwards; juxta with deeper furcation, basal edge flat. Female genitalia (Fig. 4: An 11) are similar to those of Ancistroides othonias (Fig. 4: A 98) and A. nigrita (Fig. 4: An 5), but can be recognized by: distal part of lamella antevaginal elongated and tapered into a blunt point in lateral view; distal edge of lamella postvaginalis deeply concave.
