Pygofer lobe medially sclerotized, with several macrosetae at lower basal angle, row of rigid microsetae at hind or lower margin. Pygofer dorsal and ventral appendages absent. Subgenital plate extended beyond pygofer apex, with broadened basal part, abruptly narrowed subapically or medially, lateral part forming obvious angulate projection. Setosity of subgenital plate with 3–4 macrosetae medially and row of peg-like setae laterally in transitional area, some rigid microsetae distally and one or two rows of rigid microsetae along distal lateral margin; style arcuate, sickle shaped; connective lamellate, longer than wide with broad, obtusely angulate anterior lobe; aedeagal shaft not sclerotized, preatrium curved and sclerotized, as long as or longer than shaft.
