, the new species runs to couplet 31 because of (1) wing with both macro- and microtrichia, (2) gonostylus without additional branches, (3) lateral branch of the gonostylus with two large setae ventroapically, (4) small internal branch of the gonostylus with one large seta, and (5) gonocoxites dorsoapically without protruding appendages.

Notably, by the characters of tergite 9 (large, posteriorly convergent, extends over gonocoxites, bears two prominent simple setae apically, apical margin medially rising) and parameres (long, straight, extending over tergite 9 apically).
