Distiphallus broad with apex sac-like, twisted and spinulose; with one pair of ventral bands. Ejaculatory apodeme with pale blade sometimes reduced, stem sometimes with medial setula-like structures; sperm pump shallow, venter with ill-defined sclerotization sometimes cup-like, sometimes extending to base of duct.
