Description of terminal abdominal segments and genitalia. Male. Tergite VIII ( Fig. 23 View FIGURES 15–28 ) subtriangular, about 1.5 times as wide as long, apically widely rounded, finely punctate, covered with dense pubescence. Sternite VIII ( Fig. 22 View FIGURES 15–28 ) subtriangular, partly membranous, about 1.4 times as wide as long, apically narrowed, slightly emarginate, medially and apicolaterally finely punctate, covered with long dense pubescence. Tergites IX and X ( Fig. 26 View FIGURES 15–28 ) connected by membrane; tergite IX about 1.7 times as wide as long, emarginate apically; tergite X small, widely rounded apically. Sternite IX ( Fig. 24 View FIGURES 15–28 ) elongate, about 2.3 times as long as wide, apically widely rounded, apicolaterally finely punctate, with dense pubescence. Sternite X ( Fig. 25 View FIGURES 15–28 ) connected by membrane to sternite IX, partly membranous, with two elongate sclerotized plates. Аedeagus ( Figs 27–28 View FIGURES 15–28 ) 3.2 times as long as wide. Median lobe elongate, robust, slightly surpassing parameres, subparallel-sided, apically distinctly narrowed, with apex narrowly rounded, with moderately long basal struts. Paramere elongate, subparallel-sided for most of its length, abruptly constricted subapically, with subapical hook, apical portion covered with long setae, apex narrowly rounded; subapical hook short, thick, its outer portion indistinctly emarginate. Phallobase robust, transverse, about 1.3 times as wide as long. Female. Tergite VIII ( Figs 37–38 View FIGURES 29–41 ) subtriangular, slightly longer than wide, posteriorly widely rounded, finely punctate, covered with dense pubescence, denser and longer at margins. Sternite VIII ( Figs 37–38 View FIGURES 29–41 ) U-shaped, apically rounded, finely punctate, covered with dense pubescence, spiculum ventrale slender, long, about 2.6 times sternite length. Ovipositor ( Figs 39–40 View FIGURES 29–41 ) elongate; paraprocts about 6.5 times as long as gonocoxites, styli absent. Vagina with plate-like sclerotized structures. Bursa copulatrix ( Fig. 41 View FIGURES 29–41 ) mebranous, saclike, anteriorly elongate, with long rows of jointly connected spines. Two elongate spermathecae attached to anterior part of bursa copulatrix.
