): Abdominal segment IX longitudinally very short laterally, anterolaterally convex in lateral view; dorsomedian keel broad, triangular and granulose; posterolateral lobes on each side quadrate, unusually broad, setose, with setae interrupted by large gap from those on posterolateral slope of keel. Small depression visible on dorsal margin between segment IX and tergum X. Body of tergum X small, quadrangular in lateral and dorsal views; pair of apicoventral setose lobes digitate, directed posterad, rounded apically in lateral view; directed apicomesad in dorsal view; apicodorsal lobes fused, placed mesally in dorsal view; dorsal interlobular gap small between apicoventral setose lobes.

Diagnosis:
This species is closely similar to
Hydropsyche soinha
Oláh & Johanson 2008
and
H. keoda
Oláh & Johanson 2008
(both from
Vietnam
). However, the strongly produced tergum X and the posteriorly rounded median keel of segment IX distinguish this species from allied ones.
