): uncus basal lobes semi-ovate, directed outward. Gnathos basal plate elongated, strongly convex on caudal margin. Costal bar banded and slightly angulate medially. Valva broad basally; cucullus broad basally, slightly narrowed distally, with a row of long bristles near lower corner, with numerous minute spines along ventral margin; costal margin slightly convex medially; sacculus broadly developed; apex rounded. Juxta shield-shaped, lacking latero-caudal processes; anterior margin with thumb-like median process. Vinculum U-shaped, nearly flat anteriorly. Aedeagus somewhat slender, slightly shorter than valva, bifurcated apically, with a pair of small triangular processes on dorsal margin pre-apically; cornutus absent.
