Description.
Both sexes.
Head broad, frons broadly rounded (
Figs 11–12
). Marginal carina slender. Dorsal preantennal suture extend far lateral to
ads
. Head chaetotaxy as in
Fig. 11
. Lateral margins of postantennal head slightly convex. Reticulation extensive across parts of dorsal head, pteronotum, pterosternal plate, metepisterna, tergopleurites, and sternal and subgenital plates.
Male.
Antennae as in
Fig. 27
; tooth-like projection of scape prominent; rugose area of flagellomere I extensive. Accessory sternal plate absent. Stylus relatively broad and long, narrowing slightly distally (
Fig. 82
). Basal apodeme relatively broad (
Fig. 51
), proximal end diffuse and not illustrated. Mesosome large, distal margins converging, median section concave, rugose area broadening laterally; antero-lateral hooks moderate. Gonopore short, wide (
Fig. 53
). Ventral sclerite as in
Fig. 53
; one pore visible sublaterally on each side on posterior margin, no pores visible submedianly. Parameres relatively stout, parameral heads slightly expanded (
Fig. 52
);
pst1
situated slightly proximal to
pst2
. Measurements as in
Table 1
.
Female.
Tergopleurites IX+X and XI separate (
Fig. 12
). Anterior margin of subgenital plate diffuse, and here illustrated approximately (
Fig. 73
); seemingly separated medianly, but each section large. Vulval margin shallowly concave, on each side with 19–22 (one side in one specimen with 27) short setae marginally. Posterior lobes of abdomen broad and slightly elongated (
Fig. 73
). Subvulval plates tapering distally; proximal end reaches anterior to vulval margin. Measurements as in
Table 1
.
