Diagnosis

This and the next species are very similar, but kanshireiensis Prout has a pinkish ground colour rather than straw colour, and a broader dark area distal to the discal spot: the general appearance is thus darker, pinker, less variegated. The ornamentation of the aedeagus vesica is very different in the two species.
