). Uncus elongate, gradually tapered distad with sclerotized ventral margin; distal half densely setose, apically produced into very small, pointed and hooked tip. Tegumen half length of valva with densely scobinate broad lateral plates. Gnathos highly modified and sclerotized, half length of valva, somewhat horse-shoe shaped with a prominent antero-medial process; posterolateral arms apically rounded, encompassing a central depression with heavily sclerotized anterior margin. Juxta broad basally, bearing two anterolateral processes with some small spines around tips. Saccus as wide as gnathos, a gently rounded ventral margin. Valva relatively narrow and long, distal half sparsely setose; wide basally, tapered medially and dilated apically with evenly rounded apical margin. Costa straight and narrow with a prominent basal process almost as long as gnathos, comprising an ovoid lobe produced into an elongate, slender process extending over saccular process. Sacculus half length of valva, basally broad, medially tapered, with some long setae subapically and apically produced into a dilated spiniform process. Aedeagus tubular, without coecum penis and carinal sclerotization; vesica without cornuti.
