Metathorax feebly concave on disc, with only indications of anterior and posterior spiniform projections. Profemur less strong, protibiae lacking internal tooth, with reduced basal internal denticles, somewhat dilated in the apical 2/5, and with three external teeth in the apical 2/5, the middle tooth smaller than the others, apical teeth less developed than in male. Meso- and metafemur straighter and weaker than in male. Meso- and metatibia less curved than in male, internal and apical denticles absent. Internal angle of apex of metatibia not prolonged in spiniform process. Middle and hind tibial spurs much longer than in male. Meso- and metatarsi about 1/7 longer than in male.
