Male genitalia. Sternite 5 ( Fig. 1 ) c. 5 times broader than long. Subepandrial sclerite ( Fig. 3 ) quadratic. Apical row of pegs on ventro-medial process of synsternite with 12 (6+6) pegs; there is a second row of 3 longer pegs plus 6 longer less distal strong setae ( Figs 1–2 ). Surstylus larger in 2 distinctly divided lobes ( Fig. 4 ), which bear long and thick, medium-long and also numerous short setae. Distiphallus short ( Figs 5–6 ).
