Coloration (

, patches on vertex relatively small. Male anteclypeus extremely broad.
Male 2S abdominal apodemes (Fig. 5b) reaching hind margin of third sternite.
Pygofer side (Fig. 5c) with numerous macrosetae at lower basal angle and with about 5 microsetae along hind margin. Subgenital plate (Fig. 5f) with about 4 macrosetae in irregular row, lateral margin with reduced microsetae arranged in one row, subapical ones shorter. Style (Fig.
5g
) narrow, subapical tooth very short, perpendicular to apical tooth. Connective (Fig. 5h) with manubrium narrowing towards tip, central lobe narrow. Aedeagal shaft (Figs
5i
, j) slightly curved dorsad apically, narrowing apically, dorsal margin smooth with dorsal spine near base, apical part expanded laterally, ventral surface with single distal spine near apex on right and single preapical spine on left.
