Subgenital plate with Slender diStal Section longer than broad baSal Section. Style apophySiS with few indiStinct teeth on meSal margin. Aedeagal Shaft moderately Slender and parallel Sided through moSt of length in lateral view, Slightly tapered in ventral view, lateral proceSSeS extended caudolaterad, tapered, nearly aS long aS Shaft. BaSal of Shaft in lateral view with Small fin-Shaped dorSal projection.
