Examination of many specimens (including the holotype) housed in the ZMUC revealed that the drawing of the gonopod coxite made by Krabbe (1982) is slightly erroneous. According to Krabbe, the distal part of the coxite forms a unique lobe, but our observations clearly show that this part of the coxite is bilobed (Fig. 2B). Other than that, the description and drawings are adequate.
