The valvae are rather slender with even, gently curving edges; they do not show any projections, apart from a prolonged lobe on the tips, which taper downwards. The tip of the lobe is curved from the dorsal side, although its edge is even and gently curving on the ventral side. The aedeagus is relatively broad with a spear-like tip, but it broadens significantly towards the middle-section with a sharp break on the dorsal side, but rather flatter on the ventral side. It narrows down again, sharply towards its basal tip, with an even edge.
