Description.
Pupa of male. Segment VII slightly widening distally. Each segment with three wide nearly parallel (broadly oval) concavities, a median and two lateral ones, more darkened than surrounding areas. Tergite VII with a well-developed ridge. Lateral margin of segment VII with at least an apical seta. Tergite VIII with posterior margin slightly darkened.
Segment IX. Outer margins of anal lobes not sinuate: nearly straight in the middle part and very slightly concave at extreme apex. Outer margin with serration strong, developed distal to base of second seta and reaching apical one-fifth, consisting of 40–50 elongate-triangular teeth; inner margin serration finer, no more than 20 teeth distinct. Segment with strong apical spurs (outlines much impressed into/projecting over the surface).
