Pygofer, in lateral view, slightly produced posteriorly; surface with microsetae, mostly concentrated along ventral portion. First valvifers, in lateral view, subtriangular; surface with small spiniform processes on posterior one-third. First ovipositor valvulae, in lateral view, slightly broadened beyond basal curvature; dorsal sculptured area formed by scale-like processes arranged in oblique lines; ventral sculptured area formed by scale-like processes arranged irregularly; apex acute (
