Aedeagus shaft compressed, curved dorsally and expanded graduall, end flattened, with two unobtrusive ventral processes basal area ( Fig. 4c, d View FIGURE 4 ). Style long, anterior portion longer than caudal portion, caudal portion somewhat robust, apex strongly recurved medioventrally ( Fig. 4c, d View FIGURE 4 ).

Remarks. This species is similar to Midoria deplanata Li & Li , but can be distinguished by the shape of the male pygofer side, the shape of the aedeagal shaft in side view and the shape of the aedeagal ventral processes ( Fig. 4d View FIGURE 4 ). It is unusual in having the lateral preapical processes of the aedeagus relatively short and fused to the sides of the shaft but other characters support including this species in Midoria .

Etymology. The species name refers to the end of aedeagus is flattened.
