Prosternal process lanceolate, with distinct lateral bead, surface flat, apex pointed; lateral parts of metaventrite tongue-shaped, slender, not reaching lateral margins; metacoxal lines distinct, well impressed, nearly parallel medially, divergent anteriorly, along metacoxal lines with a row of punctures. Legs black; protarsomeres 1–3 of male broadly expanded into a palette, with four rows of adhesive setae on their ventral side; male with a single metatarsal claw; female with two metatarsal claws, posterior claw small and sinuate. Median lobe of aedeagus ʻCʼ- shaped in lateral view, slightly curved, broadest at middle, strongly narrowing in apical fifth, apex rounded (
