From editor or global species database
Diagnosis Differs from all other Desmoxytes species by the combination of the following characters; sternal lobe between male coxae 4 subrectangular or subtrapeziform, flattened when seen in lateral view; apical tubercles of epiproct conspicuous, long, digitiform; process (plm) of lamina medialis sharkfin-like, long [details]Habitat Known only from the type locality and nearby area. It was found in limestone habitats. [details]
Remark Some morphological variation was found. Thus, in some individuals, the sternal lobe between male coxae 4 is subrectangular, in others subtrapeziform. Gonopod variation is also found in this species; the tip of process (plm) of lamina medialis seems to be slightly blunt in some specimens, slightly sharp in others. [details]
