Ablemma shimojanai

<p>This species is similar to <em>Ablemma berryi</em> Shear, 1978 in the large conical projection of male carapace (cf. Fig. 1C and F and Shear 1978: fig. 90), but can be distinguished by the acute tip of the embolus (Fig. 3A-I; vs. very long, laminar embolus, see Shear 1978: figs 93 and 94) and the large preanal plate, which is nearly four times the length of the postgenital plate (Fig. 1H and Fig. 2H; vs. two times the length of the postgenital plate, see Shear 1978: fig. 95).</p>
