Base of the organ covered with tiny soft basal hooks, medial portion spinous and apex fully calyculate, with the area between the calyculate zone and spinous zones poorly defined. Most spines on the organ thick, papilla-shaped and blunt, each surmounted by minute, sharp, spine-like tip pointing towards base of hemipenes. The tips are weakly keratinized, concentrated in the shape of short bars; width consistent throughout organ, with a distinct boundary along the region between the main part of papilla-shaped spines and its tips. The morphology of large spines on hemipenes are similar to the morphology of a male from Changsha,
