Adites trusmadi sp.
n.
 8mm, possible  10mm. The
facies is very similar to that of parang. However, the male genitalia
have the saccular process more tapering through the sharp flexure, with the
apical spine single, not divided from the rest of the process but continuous
with it. The aedeagus has a slender, rather thumb-like cornutus. The possible
female has a more complex lamella postvaginalis set in a slight pocket around
the ostium.
