Tegumen half the length of valva, with very broad and rounded densely scobinate lateral plates. Gnathos highly modified and sclerotized, medially dilated and shield-like, with a prominent anteromedial process and two pairs of posterior processes, where lateral pair short and wide, fused with marginally longer digitiform medial process for around half their shared length, medial processes encompassing an excavation into central gnathos plate, not reaching the centre. Juxta two spiniform lobules. Saccus conical, almost as wide as gnathos, with squared-off ventral margin. Valva rounded basally, strongly tapered medially, dilated posteriorly, somewhat ovoid apically; costa straight and narrow possessing a highly modified arm-like basal lobe almost as long as gnathos, wide basally, narrowing medially, apically very narrow with a small, somewhat dilated and rounded tip. Sacculus moderately broad basally, tapered medially with sparse long setae subapically, posteriorly produced into a dilated spiniform process. Aedeagus narrow and tubular, without coecum penis and carinal sclerotization; vesica without cornuti.
