Pseudacteon species by the structure of the female ovipositor. This new species is morphologically
similar to Pseudacteon borgmeieri Schmitz, but it differs slightly in the shape of the apex of the
ovipositor and differs strongly because of the absence of large and stout ventral hairs under the
ovipositor.species by the structure of the female ovipositor. This new species is morphologically
