terminalia (N = 2, Figs 5, 6): Sternite 5 with median cleft smoothly V-shaped; inner margin somewhat projecting, with minute setae; internal margins of the apical lobes slightly convex anteriorly; apical lobe slightly rounded apically with small scattered, setae (Fig. 5). The basal section of st5 distinctly longer than the length of the apical lobes. Hypandrial arms separated. Pregonite slightly curved anteriorly and tapered to a narrow rounded tip. Postgonite well developed, parallel sided and strongly curved anteriorly, with rounded apex. Epiphallus reduced. Surstylus with small hairs on the outer surface. Surstylus, in lateral view, slightly narrowed toward the apex, and ending in a broad rounded point. Surstylus and cercus subequal in length, or surstyli slightly longer. Cercus, in lateral view, slightly curved along its anterior and posterior margins, ending in a rounded apex (Fig. 5). In posterior view, cerci narrowed linearly from upper lobes to apical cleft and then constricted on apical 1/3; upper lobe and medial section subequal in length, upper lobe longer than the apical cleft; apical cleft weakly defined (Fig. 5). Distiphallus divided at base into long, thin sclerite posteriorly and broader winged and sclerotized portion anteriorly, the latter studded with small dentate structures.
