Paraglossa sub-rectangular, curved inward; apex rounded; with three rows of long, robust, distally pectinate setae in apical area and three medium, simple setae in anteromedial area and one fine, simple seta in proximomedial area; dorsally with a row of four long, spine-like setae near inner margin. Labial palp with segment I 0.8 x length of segments II and III combined. Segment I ventrally with short, fine, simple setae.
