(figs 5–6) or absent (figs 7–8), as well as a female (figs 9–10). As the female genitalia has never been illustrated, it is presented here (figs 15–16) (n = 2). Tergum VIII large, anterior margin deeply indented and anteriorly connected by thin sclerotized band to the sterigma. Sterigma as an inverted “U-shaped” with the proximal tips of the “U” linked to the tergum VIII and the median distal part of the “U” strongly sclerotized, slightly projected ventrally and with a short middle tip. Corpus bursae long, approximately five times larger than the sterigma, starting above the sclerotized band that links the two lateral-proximal tips to the sterigma, with starting part sclerotized and with a twist close to the base. Papilla analis higher than long and posterior apophysis long.
