Epiproct entirely narrow from the base to the apex, lateral margins very folded downward, apex little rounded ( Figure 8e View FIGURE 8 ). Cerci laterally compressed, dorsal edge with wide curvature, but not uniformly rounded, ventro-apical region with an odontiform process, apex not curved inward ( Figure 9D View FIGURE 9 ). Membranous distal area of subgenital plate fusiform horizontally and distinctly rugose; one distinct central carina and two weak incomplete lateral carinae; posterior margin of subgenital plate slightly projected backward in lateral view ( Figure 8E View FIGURE 8 ). Phallic complex: Epiphallus: Posterior region ahead of the LPjEp lowered in relation to the anterior region and not curved upward in lateral view ( Figure 11a View FIGURE 11 ); LPjEp abruptly curved downward and apex with little sclerified expansion; posterior face of LPjEp with membranous ornamentation (MbOnEp) formed by numerous lobes ( Figures 10A, a View FIGURE 10 ). Endophallus: Outer margin in the anterior region of endophallic plate bilobed, medial margins of lobes almost parallel; inner arc seemingly triangular, but with rounded vertices; branches slightly convergent and tips parallel in ventral view ( Figure 12E View FIGURE 12 ); broad ventral curvature in lateral view, some evident ripples ventrally on the outer margin of branch ( Figure 12e View FIGURE 12 ); spermatophore sac as in the Figure 12e View FIGURE 12 ; ejaculatory sac horizontally elongated, anterior end rounded, posterior end less rounded and with slight posterior curvature until reach the endophallic plate ( Figure 12e View FIGURE 12 ).

Sexual dimorphism. hf ♀ / hf ♂ 1.07.

Measurements (mm). ♂ (n=11). bd 20.81–23.27 (21.70), pr 2.56–2.73 (2.62), tg 4.77–5.83 (5.28), hf 14.12– 15.29 (14.62), ht 15.02–16.60 (15.74); ♀ (n=1). bd 25.23, pr 2.83, tg 5.08, hf 15.73, ht 16.46.

Intraspecific variation. The central carina on male subgenital plate may be absent. Sometimes the anterior bilobed region of endophallic plate very similar to T. hamus .
