). Uncus broadly triangular and apically rounded, swollen and convex dorsally, weakly setose. Tuba analis broad. Tegumen shorter than valva, with broadly triangular and apically rounded and serrulate medial lobes. Vinculum somewhat longer than tegumen, V-shaped and apically rounded. Valva narrow, distally tapered. Costa slightly convex medially. Apical process short, triangular and apically rounded, directed distally. Ventral subapical process shorter than apical one, broadly triangular and apically rounded, directed ventrally. Sacculus short (somewhat longer than half of valva length), distally dilated with short trapezoid apical process directed distally. Juxta wide, trapezoid with medial depression apically. Aedeagus long and narrow, somewhat curved medially, with elongate and heavily sclerotized carina bearing robust thorn-like subapical process directed distally. Vesica shorter than aedeagus, with dilated distal half. Subbasal ventral diverticulum semiglobular, short. Distal diverticulum broad, with elongate and broad cluster of numerous tiny spinules distally and area of weak granulation ventrally.

abdominal segment sclerotized with sclerotized and rugose triangular lateral subostial pockets. Ostium broad. Ductus bursae, dorso-ventrally flattened, sclerotized. Posterior section of ductus bursae with weakly sclerotized longitudinal medial area. Anterior section of ductus bursae somewhat broader than posterior one. Posterior section of corpus bursae rugose, with heavily sclerotized lateral protrusion on left side. Anterior section of corpus bursae globular, membranous with two round signa, directed laterally. Basal section of appendix bursae sclerotized and basally rugose, positioned ventrally and directed laterally on right side. Medial section of appendix bursae membranous, long and narrow, tubular, directed anteriorly. Anterior section of appendix bursae broad, teardrop-like, membranous. Ductus seminalis originates from medial section of appendix bursae.
