Tergites I–VI bear three carinae and are granulated, with some intercarinal granules small and others larger and rounded. Tergite VII is pentacarinate. Pectinal tooth count is 16–19 (1x16, 1x17, 4x18, 4x19) in males and 14–16 (2x14, 2x16) in females. Pectinal marginal tips extend to the posterior end of sternite III in males and to the proximal ¾ of sternite III in females. Pectines have 3 marginal lamellae and 7–9 middle lamellae. Lamellae bear numerous dark long setae, each fulcrum with 3–5 setae. All sternites sparsely hirsute and finely granulated with smooth parts mainly in medial area. Sternite VII with four granulate carinae, other sternites have two furrows.
