Fore femur row IC with 11 setae (IC) ( Figure 1P ); macrosetal formula of hind femur 2+2+1; style with apical apophysis acute ( Figure 1K, L ); connective with process as long as stem ( Figure 1K, L ); aedeagal shaft straight without basal dorsal bulge ( Figure 1I ); basolateral processes of aedeagus slightly divergent from shaft at base, nearly equal in length to shaft and with tooth on each near middle ( Figure 1J ); basal atrium of aedeagus developed with sides parallel, subapically paired processes suddenly acute to apex ( Figure 1N ); female pregenital segment with hind margin produced posteriorly and concave in middle ( Figure 1O ).

Material examined. 1♂, holotype ( CAU), Lingyin Temple, Hangzhou , Zhejiang Prov., 13-X-1974, Coll. Li Fasheng ; 1♀, paratype: ( CAU), Liuhe Tower, Hangzhou , Zhejiang Prov., 15-X-1974, Coll. Yang Chi-kun .
