Diagnosis. Clypeus with three macrosetae. Sternite eight of male with a cluster of spine-like setae on the right side lateroventrally ( Figs. 7–8 View FIGURES 7–10 ). Left paramere with two unequal branches, larger branch tapering distally in dorsal view ( Fig. 10 View FIGURES 7–10 ).

Description. Male. Surface and vestiture. Clypeus with three macrosetae (two basal, one at tip); first and second labial segments with long setae ventrally, third labial segment with pair of long setae at tip and long setae ventrally; ratio of length of hind tibia to width of pronotum 1.20. Structure. Ratio of pronotal collar length to pronotum length 0.25; ratio of height of fore-femur to length of fore-femur 0.25; tarsal formula 3–3–3. Genitalia. Mediotergite eight (mt8) wider than long, plate-like; process of mediotergite eight (mt8p) long, thin and curved. Sternite eight (S8) wider than long, covered with tiny setulae and bearing a cluster of small spine-like setae on right half ventrally ( Figs. 7–8 View FIGURES 7–10 ). Pygophore (pyg) longer than sternite eight, almost conical in ventral view ( Fig. 7 View FIGURES 7–10 ), covered with tiny setulae. Flap-like genitalic process (flp) striated ventrally ( Fig. 7 View FIGURES 7–10 ). Vesica (v) thin and coiled. Left paramere (lp) elongated with two unequal branches distally, larger branch tapering distally with rounded tip in dorsal view ( Fig. 10 View FIGURES 7–10 ) and clavate in left lateral view ( Fig. 8 View FIGURES 7–10 ), smaller branch tongue-shaped in dorsal view ( Fig. 7 View FIGURES 7–10 ) and conical in left lateral view ( Fig. 8 View FIGURES 7–10 ). Right paramere (rp) elongated and twisted, with conical tip bearing small setulae ( Figs. 9–10 View FIGURES 7–10 ).

Female. Coloration. Tergites eight and nine and sternites eight and nine light brown. Surface and vestiture. Same as male; ratio of length of hind tibia to width of pronotum 1.26–1.40. Structure. Ratio of pronotal collar length to pronotum length 0.21–0.25; ratio of height of fore-femur to length of fore-femur 0.19–0.22; tarsal formula 2–2–3; pretarsus of front and mid legs with inflated arolia; tergites eight and nine and sternites eight and nine more sclerotized than remaining tergites and sternites ( Figs. 4–6 View FIGURES 1–6 ); mediotergite seven and eight and sternites two to eight with a spiracle in posterolateral corner ( Fig. 7 View FIGURES 7–10 ). Genitalia. Tergites seven and eight and sternites two to eight of female with a pair of spiracles ( Fig. 11 View FIGURES 11–14 ). Tergite nine conical in dorsal view ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 11–14 ). Anal tube small, with bilobed posterior margin in dorsal view ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 11–14 ). Gonoplacs (g) small, with posterior margin rounded ( Fig. 11 View FIGURES 11–14 ). Anterior gonapophysis (ag) with three teeth, without serration subapically ( Figs. 11–12 View FIGURES 11–14 ). Posterior gonapophysis (pg) with two teeth ( Fig. 11 View FIGURES 11–14 ). Spermathecal duct (spd) long and thick, contorted ( Fig. 13 View FIGURES 11–14 ); spermathecal reservoir (spr) globular with two bends ( Figs. 13–14 View FIGURES 11–14 ); spermathecal gland duct (spgd) subcylindrical; spermathecal gland (spgl) large and globose ( Fig. 14 View FIGURES 11–14 ).
