Gonocoxites ventrally with V-shaped posteromedial cleft which includes a small step about 1/3 from anterior end of cleft. In ventral view, a broad median membranous hump present immediately dorsal to posteromedial cleft of gonocoxites. Lateral lobes of gonocoxites laterally flattened, flap-like, apically rounded, extending well beyond gonostylus. Gonostylus minute, droplet-shaped; subspherical in ventral view, but in posterolateral view strongly tapered to slightly hooked point.
