Gonostylus pilose, with dorsal patch of scars at base, apically beak-shaped ( Figs. 5, 8 View FIGURES 1 – 8 ). Sternite 10 subtriangular apically, with apical micropilosity. ( Fig. 6 View FIGURES 1 – 8 ). Aedeagus symmetrical, bifid, 0.5 times the length of parameres ( Fig. 8 View FIGURES 1 – 8 ); membranous area present above aedeagus, plate-like, without patch of apical spicules ( Figs. 4, 5, 8 View FIGURES 1 – 8 ); one pair of parameres plumose-like, bifid, each arm bifurcated at apex ( Figs. 4, 8 View FIGURES 1 – 8 ).
