The ninth tergite (Figs 6, 9, 12) of each species is highly modified and completely unlike any other known species of the genus. In most species of the genus the apical margin of the tergite is evenly convex and the length of the tergite varies from short to elongate.</paragraph>

The modifications of the male fifth abdominal ventrite and lobes of the eighth sternite and the shape of the female ninth tergite will readily distinguish the species. In most series a few of the sexual characters are readily visible without dissections.</paragraph>
