Terga II and III with medially divided antecosta, tergite II with triangular membranous area anteriorly. Terga IV VII with entire antecosta and full sclerotised, tergite VII with weakly sclerotised posterior edge and small membranous portion. Tergite VIII: antecosta interrupted by a wide membranous area, each part ends into a small triangular plate; the membranous area is ~ 1 / 3 segment width, and usually do not reach the 1 / 2 of the segment length but in some specimens it reach down to 2 / 3 above the posteromedial process, posterior margin of the membranous portion wavy; the surrounding sclerotisation of the membranous area lighter than the rest of the segment; posteromedial process not darker than the lateral areas of the segment, not erect in side view and not or only slightly overhangs the segment posterior edge, nearly as wide as the membranous area above, bilobed with rounded lobes slightly pointed laterad, the space between the lobes is concave to nearly straight; posterior margin between the posteromedial process and segment sides nearly straight, not indenting nor distinctly lobed. Tergite IX mostly membranous, antecosta interrupted in the medial 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of its length; posteromedial sclerite short but wide, sublateral areas darker, the medial portion usually narrower than the lateral portions. Anterior margin of tergite X bilobed anteriorly, posterior margin with deep notch, not wider than 1 / 3 tergite width. Epiproct large, posteriorly rounded, sclerotised only at its sides, stalk short. Cercus simple, covered with long setae. Sterna II VIII simple, sternite IX bears a vesicle shorter than 1 / 2 segment length, its width more than 1 / 2 its length; posteromedial 1 / 2 of the sternum is delimited by a pale and weakly sclerotised area. Paraproct with moderately wide base, abruptly narrowing after basal 1 / 3, apex gently curved in lateral view and tapering towards a sharp tip. Base of paraproct connected to a subrectangular lateral expansion with an apical, blunt triangular process. Specillum longer than the paraproct, gently curved in lateral view and ending in a subterminally constricted, sharp tip.

Sterna I VII simple, sterna II VII with one subrectangular median sclerite and two small anterior sclerites that are fused with the median sclerite on sternite VII. Subgenital plate of sternite VIII large and trapezoid, not fused with other sclerites. It has two large and wide lobes, slightly darker brown than the rest of the plate; posterior margin convex, incision between the lobes is a membranous strip, widening towards the median bulge near the centre of the plate but not forming a triangular field; median bulge is narrow in ventral view, distinctly raised, nose shaped to rounded in lateral view, lacking distinct setation. Sternite IX with wide but shallow anterior indentation. Paraproct, cercus and epiproct simple. Spermathecal sclerite ring-shaped, with small anterior teeth and large, converging the posterior teeth.
