thin distally and heavily sclerotised proximally and medially, somewhat convex or with triangular dorsal protrusion medially. Sacculi broad (ca. half of valva width) and heavily sclerotised, right one slightly broader than left one. Distal saccular process narrow but robust, evenly upcurved, apically dilated and bearing cluster of short but robust spinules. Juxta with short crest ventrally and robust processes or clusters of serration posteriorly. Phallus shorter than tegumen-vinculum complex, distally dilated with short crest-like midventral protrusion, and medially curved laterad. Vesica shorter than phallus, granulose medially and distally, more or less globular with semiglobular granulose lateral and conical subapical diverticula, and, in certain species, a membranous subbasal diverticulum, short thorn-like medial cornutus and one or two additional tiny cornuti dorso-medially.

Anterior section of ductus bursae anteriorly dilated, dorso-ventrally flattened and sclerotised.

Anterior section of corpus bursae globular or elliptical, membranous. Appendix bursae conical, membranous, originating from posterior section of corpus bursae latero-ventrally, and directed laterad.
