MATERIAL

No material of this species was examined.

DIAGNOSIS

This species is similar in habitus to other Culladia species. In male genitalia ( Fig. 113 ), the bifid basal process of the valva, the two apical horns of the vesica, and the small single cornutus separate this species from other Culladia species. In female genitalia ( Fig. 169 ), the small sclerotization on antrum, the short subostial projection, and the corpus bursae barely delimited from the ductus separate this species from other Culladia species.

DISTRIBUTION

INDIA; PHILIPPINES: Luzon (Benguet).

REMARKS

Błeszyński examined 20 male and female specimens from Benguet, Luzon, and stored in the NHMUK.
