). Uncus slightly narrowed medially, suddenly widened from distal 1/4 to straight apex. Tegumen gradually narrowed anteriorly. Valva sub-rectangular, produced distally to a beak-like process pointing ventrad; costa with basal half sclerotized, distal half sparsely setose. Sacculus narrow, densely setose distally. Saccus narrow, rounded apically, slightly longer than uncus. Juxta weakly sclerotized, folded inward and forming a wide ring; anterior lobe slender. Aedeagus slightly longer than valva, slightly curved, sclerotized apically; with a small ring-like and a small spine-like apical processes; cornutus absent.
