First four segments of front tarsus similar to those of Q. quinctius, but relatively more distinctly dilated. Sternite 8 with two long setae on each side, with medioapical emargination similar to that of Q. quinctius, but somewhat wider and deeper (Fig. 30). Genital segment with tergite 10 narrower, with numerous long setae at and near apex, otherwise asetose (Fig. 31); sternite 9 not appreciably different from that of Q. quinctius. Aedoeagus (Figs 32-35) similar to that of Q. quinctius, including median lobe with apical lobes (Fig. 33), and different mainly by the shape of the paramere, which exceeds with its quite acute apex more distinctly apex of median lobe; number of sensory peg setae on underside of paramere varies to some extent (Figs 34, 35).</p> <p>Female. First four segments of front tarsus similar to those of Q. quinctius, but somewhat less dilated, segment 2 narrower than apex of tibia (ratio 0.85). Genital segment with tergite 10 wider than that of Q. quinctius, with minute, acute apex, with numerous apical setae of variable length, missing the longitudinal row of fine setae in front of apical setae, present in Q. quinctius (Fig. 35 and Fig. 28 in SMETANA 1998: 329).</p> <p>Length 5.8-6.5 mm.</p> <p>E t y m o l o g y: The specific epithet is a combination of Latin noun iaculum, - i, m (dart, javelin) and the verb fero (to bear, to carry).
