Tergites I, II, IVVIII with successively increasing numbers of widely scattered, relatively short but strong setae arising in light-colored circles; tergite III with setae mostly concentrated anteriorly and posteriorly and few setae in between. Paratergites IV (except anteriorly) VII with con- spicuous longitudinal setation. Sternites IIV with (postero)lateral longitudinal rows or patches of setae, sternites VIVII with these patches spreading to medial and anterior; in addition, sternites VI VII with marginal rows of setae paralleling those on paratergites; sternite VII with posteromedial triangular field of more densely set setae.

Sternite VIII with very dense posteromedial to posterolateral field of setae; zone of tran- sition from sternite to genital bay densely covered with medially directed trichia of various sizes, some arising from papillar but non-alveolar bases; posterior margin of sternite VIII on either side of genital bay with a more or less distinct peak to posterior. Vaginal floor conspicuous in ventral view as a pair of darkened, anteromedially narrowly fused areas; anterior and lateral margin of floor with nar- row sclerotization that is posteriorly connected to the gonocoxapodeme VIII; dorsal (intra-vaginal) surface of floor with loosely spaced microtrichia. Gonocoxapodeme VIII nearly straight, extending from dorsal of anteromedial margin of floor to near posteromedial peak of sternite VIII, hardly reaching farther lateral than coxosternapodeme. Gonapophysis VIII with closely adjacent, indistinctly separable lobes. Dorsomesal lobe anteriorly parallel to inner margin of floor with greatest width near posterior end. Ventrolateral lobe arising anteromedial of posteromedial peak of sternite VIII, apparently consisting of two membranous lobes with microtrichia and fine dissections along its medial margin. Apodeme lobe with conspicuous transverse apodeme dorsal of posterior end of dorsomesal lobe, and with extensive soft membrane to medial and posterior that carries many trichia and fine striations on its margin and at least anteroven- tral surface. Notum extending through most of length of segment VIII, much longer than seminal capsule, free rami very short or indistinct. Seminal capsule ovoid, spermathecal duct nearly straight, carrying secretory cells, subapically narrowing, the two ducts meeting at their joint opening. Coxosternapodeme with extensive anterolateral part carrying a diagonal dorsal ridge, and with narrow anteromedial and posterior extensions. Labium with diagonal internal apodeme and fine to spinose chaetulae on dorsomedial surface.
