Diagnosis. The male genital capsule of the species-group is characterised by the medially constricted and distally narrow valva lacking the distal saccular process and having an elliptical cucullus, and the heavily sclerotised juxta bearing postero-lateral processes. The phallus is elongate and narrow. The vesica is broad with a number of short diverticula and bearing fields of spinulose scobination. In the female genitalia, the lateral subostial lobes are short, the antrum is robust, posteriorly dilated, medially membranous and with heavily sclerotised and swollen lateral margins. The corpus bursae is elliptical and covered with minute spinules. The appendix bursae is short and narrow.
