The endosoma does not have a process arising near the secondary gonopore and the apical region is more or less membranous; the posteromedial portion of the middle dorsal labiate plate is weakly sclerotized and not microspiculate, and the posterior wall has a prominent well-sclerotized posterior projection abutting the ovipositor bulb.
