Harpe absent; juxta unmodified, membranous. Phallus short, ca. as long as sacculus, moderately thick, tubular, slightly curved medially; vesica largely inflated medially with three diverticula: a very short, basally broad, hump-like medio-lateral diverticulum lacking cornuti, a long, narrow tubular posterior one possessing a short but robust apical cornutus and a broad-based triangular ventro-distal diverticulum bearing an elongate spinulose plate apically; base of vesica ejaculatorius with a small bilobate sclerotized structure.
