Both sexes of the three species of this group with only 3–4 setae in each aster on sternite II. The male genital sac sclerite (
Fig. 3
) elongate and slender, 0.075–0.085 long, apically bifurcate, with median dark line and usually with a small process on each side. The female subgenital plate has its posterior margin only lightly spiculate, and the inner terminal setae on tergite IX 0.050–0.100 (mean = 0.075; n = 15) long, inserted 0.020–0.060 (mean = 0.033; n = 20) from base of each very long seta (
