Description of the female characters.

Supra-anal plate ( TX) black and densely covered with setae, the posterior margin slightly flat. Paraprocts (pp.) pubescent, curved hook-like extensions thin and long. The two median sclerites irregularly shaped. Cerci short, not exceeding the posterior margin of supra-anal plate. Paratergites (pt.) long and banded. Crosspiece (cp.) weakly sclerotized, barely visible. Posterior lobes of valvifer II (p. l.) short and robust. Spermathecal plate (sp. pl.) concave in the middle, with two narrow lobes. Spermatheca (sp.) consists of two distinct and large ampullas, the terminal ampulla larger. The duct bifurcated near the basal ampulla, and the bifurcated duct expands into a small ball in the middle. Basivalvula (bsv.) transverse, the two lobes nearly triangular, and the lateral margin curled. Subgenital plate ( SVII) setose, the terminal part of the posterior margin flat and emarginated medially.
