Postalar metathoracic projection with lateral margin folded downward, gutter-shaped; length of postalar projection 0.82× length of mesepimeral projection. Metaxyphus swollen medially at anterior two-thirds, slightly depressed at posterior third, with distolateral margins converging at apex, forming an acuminate point.
