Ostium bursae wide with a relatively large, heavily sclerotised, more or less quadrangular antevaginal plate with two rounded lateral lobes and gently arched, undulate anterior margin. Ductus bursae short, membranous, distal two-thirds inflated, without cornuti; cervix bursae unmodified, membranous. Corpus bursae membranous, distal section tubular, slightly dilated and twisted anteriorly; proximal part of corpus bursae slightly ovoid with small signum bursae consisting of two medially fused, bell-shaped, finely scobinate plates.
