Tergite VII is pentacarinate, with all carinae strong and granulated. The pectinal tooth count is 23–28 (5x23, 13x24, 32x25, 10x26, 4x27, 2x28) in the females and 30–35 (5x30, 17x31, 32x32, 11x33, 6x34, 1x35) in the males. The pectinal marginal tips extend to the proximal end between the end of the third and the fronter quarter of the fourth sternite in females and to the proximal end of the fourth sternite in males. The pectines have three marginal lamellae and seven or eight middle lamellae. The lamellae bear numerous dark setae, each fulcrum with three to six dark setae. All sternites are smooth. The seventh sternite bears four strongly developed ventral crenulate carinae. The other sternites bear two or four inconspicious smooth carinae.

The first metasomal segment bears 10 carinae, the second throught fourth segments bear eight to 10 carinae (the lateral surface of the second and third segments bears a row of granules that exceeds three-quarters of the second and one-half of the third segment length). The fourth segment bear eight carinae and the fifth segment bears five carinae. The ventrolateral carinae of the fifth segment terminate in two lobate. The ventral keels on the second and third segments posteriorly bear two to four large granules. The surface between the carinae is smooth. All segments are sparsely setose.
