After examining some males and females, we found that the male (Fig. 2 A, C) is very similar to the female in the body shape, color, pubescence, but they can be distinguished from females by the pedicel with an apical spinous projection, which is longer than the pedicle (Fig. 2 A, C). The genders of the holotype of Ectinogramma isosceloides (Fig. 1 A – C), Ectinogramma collare (pl. XXVIII, fig. 10 in Pascoe 1866) and Spinogramma ruficollis (i. e., E. isosceloides; Fig. 1 E – G) were not provided in the original literature; however, based on our examination, the three holotypes are females because the pedicel lacks the spiniform projection found in males.
