AEDEAGUS (Fig. 13 D–F). Ventral process of each paramere moderately narrowed apically, slightly pointed at apex; conjoint dorsal plate of parameres well-developed, slightly shorter than the length of ventral process and slightly narrower than the distance between outer margins of ventral processes, nearly parallel-sided, with nearly straight apical margin; laterophyses flattened and separated, nearly triangular at apices, adhered to dorsal side of median lobe, distinctly shorter than conjoint dorsal plate.

In the original publication (Wittmer 1979), this species was only illustrated with male antennae. Here the aedeagus is illustrated and described for the first time.
