Abdominal segments with posterolateral projections in both sexes. Abdominal sternite V of male longer than wide with a very prominent projection that forks distally into two spines, located on its posterior margin; sternite VII with preopercular organ small and located near posterior margin. Poculum longer than wide, strongly convex with pronounced ventral prolongation, 2.5 times longer than sternite VIII, anterior margin convex, posterior margin extending to anterior margin of the anal segment.
