Male genitalia: Paramere long, anterior portion shorter and more slender than caudal portion, caudal portion obviously robust, apex strongly recurved medioventrally, with some macrosetae near recurved area ( Figs 9, 10 View FIGURES 1 – 12 ). Connective approximately T-shaped with high dorsomedial keel ( Figs 9, 10 View FIGURES 1 – 12 ). Aedeagus shaft slightly compressed, with long process arising from each side of posterior margin basally, process apex slightly wider than base ( Fig. 10 View FIGURES 1 – 12 ).
