Diagnosis. Two pairs of strong lateroclinate orb; 3–4 long facial setae. Three pairs of posts dc, without pres dc; acr weak and short, continuing in a posts row to base of scutellum; 1 strong presutural seta; posterior npl much farther from notopleural suture than anterior npl; 1 strong sa, psa absent; two pairs of sc. Forefemur with row of pv, mid femur with row of av. Male genitalia: Epandrium base as wide as apex in posterior view; cerci long, thickened at base and slender at apex. Gonite falcate at base in lateral view. Female genitalia: Cerci flatironshaped in lateral view, yellow at base and yellow at apex. Sternite 8 divided into 2 triangular sclerites.
