short-stalked; hindtibia with raised piliform scales; terga with spiniform setae arranged in patches longer than wide, second abdominal sternum with apodemes and venulae; uncus and gnathos subtriangular, valva subtriangular with costal proximal setose proccess; juxta without lateral lobes, diaphragm with microtrichia; phallus coiled proximally, vesica with cornutus; antrum sclerotized and tubular, with ventral digitiform process; ductus bursae spiral-shaped with posterior membranous chamber, corpus bursae with signum. The new species shares these characters with the
