Valve bluntly triangular; median length less than 2x width. Subgenital plates long, triangular, apex rounded and with small toothlike process; with row of macrosetae laterally along entire length; with numerous long fine setae laterally. Connective with anterior arms closely appressed; stem broad, shorter than anterior arms; articulated with aedeagus.Style relatively short; broadly bilobed at base; with blunt preapical lobe; apophysis relatively thick, short, clawlike, apex blunt. Aedeagus with two pairs of processes arising near base of shaft; shorter pair of processes rising posterodorsad along shaft, slightly shorter than shaft; longer pair extending ventrad of shaft, about 1.75x length of shaft; shaft narrow, with apical flange. Segment X dorsally, laterally, and ventrally sclerotized; ventrally with pair of long processes. Female. Sternite VII very long; laterally sinuate and tapering to lingulate apical lobe.
