Ninth tergite (Fig. 110) on apical margin faintly inwardly arcuate; tenth tergite on apical margin regularly rounded, weakly inwardly arcuate basally. Spiculum gastrale (Figs 110-111) with typical

is arguably the most distinctive species of the genus differing from all other members by only slightly dilated metatibia (strongly dilated in all other species, compare Fig. 106 with e.g. 97); present and observable protibial spur (very tiny or absent in the rest of species, compare Fig. 105 with e.g. 43). Furthermore, the setae of the pronotal hypomeron are rather short and invisible from dorsal view (in all other species they are protruding from underside of the pronotum and are observable from dorsal view).
