Diagnosis: Male with epandrium and surstyli spherical in outline ( Fig. 5M ) (posterior view). Lateral surstylus shorter than epandrium in profile; posterior lobe of surstylus blunt, as long as anterior lobe. Proctiger quadrate and smaller than epandrium ( Fig. 3M ). Phallus 1.9̄ 2.2 mm long, excluding glans (0.4 mm); 0.75 of glans sclerotised with unpatterned praeputium; subapical lobe and basal lobe present ( Fig. 9A ). Female with black oviscape (1.16 mm); eversible membrane (1.4 mm) with spicules on distal end having four-five broad projections ( Fig. 11H ). Aculeus (1.2 mm long) with acute apex and four pairs of preapical setae ( Fig. 13H ), two black mulberry shaped spermathecae ( Fig. 15H ).
