( Figs. 10A–F View FIGURES 10 A – F )
Diagnosis. Hypandrium and gonocoxites fused with dentiform medial expansion with rounded apex; one pair of curved projections in the aedeagal complex, convergent apically; ejaculatory apodeme short, 0.6 times the length of gonostylus; hypoproct with elongated setae in its surface.
Description. Male. Head subcircular in frontal view. Antenna incomplete in the studied specimens; scape and pedicel subspherical; basal flagellomeres pyriform and eccentric; ascoids 1.3 times as long as the length of flagellomere ( Fig. 10A View FIGURES 10 A – F ). Palpus three segmented; first segment with sensilla in depressed pit on medial surface; palpus formula 1.0:0.5:0.7 ( Fig. 10B View FIGURES 10 A – F ). Wing. R4+5 incomplete at base; r-m and m-cu absent ( Fig. 10C View FIGURES 10 A – F ). Male terminalia: Hypandrium and gonocoxites fused with dentiform lateral expansion and with rounded apex ( Figs. 10D, 10F View FIGURES 10 A – F ). Arm of gonocoxite curved with bristles basally and apically. Gonostylus slightly sclerotized, articulated ventrally to gonocoxite, bare, truncated. Presence of one pair of projections in the aedeagal complex curved, convergent apically ( Fig. 10F View FIGURES 10 A – F ). Ejaculatory apodeme short, 0.6 times the length of gonostylus. Epandrium wider than long, expanded medially. Cercus subtriangular. Hypoproct with elongate setae on its surface. Epiproct membranous and subcircular. ( Fig. 10E View FIGURES 10 A – F ).
Female. Unknown.
