Diagnosis.Male. Postcranium brown, dorsally pruinose, ventrally grayish-pruinose ( Fig. 1). Hind trochanter with yellow-setose protuberance ( Fig. 2). Tergites and sternites 6 and 7 as in Fig. 3. Surstyli similar in shape, with hooked-tip, having dorso-basal protuberance, right surstylus slightly shorter ( Figs 4–5), both surstyli with tips downward-directed, mainly the left one ( Figs 6–7). Phallic guide with apex simple, angled at about 45 degrees ( Fig. 8). Phallus with one ejaculatory duct with two spines, one duct with a single spine and one duct without spine. Ejaculatory apodeme somewhat sandal-shaped, darker near base, rounded on both ends ( Fig. 9). Gonopods subsymmetrical ( Fig. 10).
