Diagnosis
This species can be easily separated from other species by the left phallomere with a strongly thickened filamentary structure, which is crossed with another bone fragment.
Etymology
The specific name is derived from the Latin word ‘ cruciatus ’ and refers to the crossed bone fragments (L1 and L2v) of the left phallomere.
