Tergum 9 sclerotised with a large, medial membranous area, a sclerotised, semicircular process present posteromedially, an obvious ridge across the middle part of the process. Sternum 9 as wide as long, forming a rounded projection apically that is no wider than the subanal lobe bases, the ventral lamella somewhat broadly circular and densely hairy. Sclerotised lateral processes of tergum 10 acutely bifurcate apically in lateral view. Mid-anterior process sclerotised, distinctly wider than long and bearing two short obtuse lateral processes. Posterior transverse sclerites rectangular with posterior angles somewhat rounded. Epiproct thick with erect, hook-like portion curved dorsally. Subanal lobe strongly sclerotised at base and margin, membranous distally, overall appearance is trident-like, lateral arms short and less massive than the medial section. Cerci long and cylindrical, in lateral view, gently curved dorsally, a small, subapical, medially-directed spine present (Figs 1 c, 9, 10, 11).
