Transtilla comprised of two long, narrow, apically pointed posterior processes, and two thin, short, apically pointed anterior processes. Juxta with bilobate base, with small, strongly sclerotised, rectangular process antero-medially, and with two moderately long, narrow, tapered, distally pointed lobes accompanying phallus laterally. Vinculum broad, rounded. Valve wide at base, triangular, narrowing distally with rounded point on dorso-apical edge. Phallus medially slightly curved, relatively thin, long, proximally surrounded with heavily sclerotised manica fused ventrally to caudal lobes of juxta, weakly sclerotised at the distal end with apical split. Vesica extremely short, membranous.
