fg) with sclerite I evenly pigmented, large, with denticle prominent, blunt. Dorsal spicule well developed in size, pigmented, cylindrical with a rounded tip. Sclerite II well developed, generally abruptly bent at base. Arch of sclerite III shaped like a bird head, being quite straight on basal half, with apex pointed and faintly but perceivably convex along the basal half of upper rim. Branches of sclerite IV slightly shorter than sclerite III in the folded up structure, quite stout, weakly bent to almost straight, evenly thickened, with rounded, slightly symmetrical apex and surface fairly rugose.
