Apical lobes and dorsal lobe not distinguishable in the microscopic image, seemingly fused to asymmetrical, narrow, somewhat dextrad curved distal lobe with round apex and large, irregularly convex, ventrodextral, lobiform enlargement at base. Flagellum long, reaching distal fourth of length of distal lobe, slightly running left in proximal half but in distal half strongly curved dextrad with bidentate end owing to sinistral widening over entire length of flagellum ending in long, thin, second apical tooth; additional, apicad pointing tooth seemingly projecting in middle of length of flagellum. Ventral lobe short, with thin, acutely ended, hook-shaped spine pointing proximad. Lateral lobes asymmetrical, each bearing group of long, ventrally pointing setae; dextral lateral lobe reduced; sinistral lateral lobe lobiform, projecting from phallobase. Apical portion of phallobase with additional, isolated, ventral bristles. Median foramen somewhat transverse, limited laterally by strongly sclerotised, vestigial parameres.
