Male genitalia ( Fig. 68). Uncus slender, weakly expanded subterminally, armed with several spines; socius broad, bristled; valva rather slender medially, with spiny ventral lobe extending beyond basal cavity; aedeagus large; cornuti two nondeciduous spines.

Remarks. Described from 6 specimens, male and female. Four specimens are present in the collection of RMCA. The species is transferred to Endothenia Stephens, 1852 on the basis of the presence of a spiny ventrobasal process of the valva, the structure of the tegumen, and the spiny end of the uncus.
