. Hind femora with short adpressed hairs and scutellum with marginal hairs about as long as its median length, anepisternum shining, undusted on central part, tergites undusted. Male readily identified by the huge genitalia, as large as its thorax, epandrium very convex and lacking any prominent apical elongations. Female with relatively shining mesonotum, which distinguishes it from some similar species, but accurate identification requires examination of the genitalia (Plate XII).

Pleura black to dark brown, predominantly shining but with thin grey dust in middle of anepisternum and katepisternum dorsally. Hind part of anepisternum with shortish dark hairs.

Other than the absence of the very large genitalia, the female hardly differs from the male. The frons of the female is on average very slightly broader, but this can only be appreciated with direct comparison and even then it is not obvious. Also the mouth margin a little broader but again this is marginal. Apical sternite rather rectangular, slightly broader basally, convex but not strongly domed, no clear apical notch.

This distinctive species shows no obvious affiliations with any other species, the epiphallus would seem to be quite unique.
