Diagnosis. Crown black with ivory or yellowish spots; inferior part of clypeus and clypellus black. Male: subgenital plates reach one-third of the length of pygofer; shaft of aedeagus short, with pair of elongated basal processes, curved upwards in the middle of its length.

Female terminalia. Abdominal sternite VII, in ventral view (Fig. 9), with lateral margins almost parallel, lateroposterior margins narrowly rounded, and posterior margin slightly emarginate, bearing small median projection; surface with scattered microsetae. Pygofer, in lateral view, moderately produced; surface with scattered microsetae and a few macrosetae on posteroventral region of disc. First valvifers, in lateral view, longer than tall; with small spiniform processes on posterior and ventral margins. First ovipositor valvulae, in lateral view, rectilinear beyond basal curvature; dorsal and ventral sculptured areas formed mostly by scale-like processes arranged in oblique lines; apex acute (Fig. 29), with denticles on dorsal and ventral margins. Second valvulae, in lateral view, rectilinear or slightly broadened beyond basal curvature and then narrowing gradually toward apex; dorsal margin of blade bearing 35 to 38 continuous teeth, each tooth subrectangular, with denticles on dorsal margin (Fig. 49); ducts extending toward teeth and toward apical blade portion; apex rounded (Fig. 69), with denticles on dorsal and ventral margins; preapical ventral prominence conspicuous. Gonoplacs, in lateral view, with basal half narrow and arcuate, and apical half distinctly expanded; small spiniform processes along ventral margin; apex rounded.
