Pygofer with dorsal margin abruptly tapered caudally adjacent to base of anal tube, posterior margin bifurcate with small digitate upper branch; dorsal inner appendage very large, wrench-shaped with caudal margin of lower branch serrate. Style in dorsal view with apical apophysis curved laterally and tapered to acute apex, slightly expanded basally, lateral lobe well developed. Connective Y-shaped with stem short. Aedeagal shaft broad in lateral view, compressed with apex fan-shaped; with flange-like processes on each side subbasally. Processes between connective and aedeagus long, extending to near level of apex of aedeagus in lateral view.
