Yellow, coxal setae pale. Fore tibial organ forming a rather small patch in depression. Fore tibial spur longer than the tibial width. Abdomen. Pale brown, setae pale and long. Hypopygium ( Fig. 8 B ). Brown, as abdomen. Intergonocoxal area moderately long, with long, apically bifid setose lobe ( Fig. 18 D ). Gonocoxa moderately broad, longer than gonostylus, medial margin basally strongly curved, with sparse setosity. Gonostylus ( Fig. 9 D ) long, apically truncate, impressed; with normal setosity, a long apical tooth, 1 megaseta on the apical side of the tooth, a pair of megaseta subapically near the tooth and another pair more basally; megasetae long and slender; with 1 well-differentiated whiplash seta at ventromedial margin. Tegmen broader than long, laterally and apically roundish, weakly sclerotized, aedeagal teeth not detectable in the specimens studied. Aedeagal apodeme long.
