). Sternum IX broad with shallow caudomedian excavation. Tergum IX quadrate with round apical margin, a narrow medial cleft, without apicolateral process; posterior margin of tergum IX terminating much before apex of gonocoxite. Gonocoxite broad basally, apex narrow with distinct dorsal root. Gonostylus dilated at base, slightly curved medially, ending in blunt tip. Aedeagus weakly sclerotized with short, bent basal arms. Parameres with sclerotized basal arms with broad base, stem dilated basally, gradually tapering.
