Manoba potterorum Holloway sp. n.

♂ 6mm.

The facies is similar to that of goodfieldi, but with darker grey shading medially and subbasally on the costa.

The male genitalia are distinguished by a strongly developed juxta with a bifid spine dorsally.

The valves are sinuous, apically acute, and the harpe is rather scoop-like.

The aedeagus lacks ornamentation.

A male from Sikkim (slide 17621) has similar facies and development of the juxta, though lacking the bifid spine, but the valve apex is more rounded with a central spur, and the harpe is more zig-zag in shape.
