Sternite 9 with a subgenital plate wider than long and rounded apically, basally with a tongue-like vesicle bears dense hairs (Fig. 6).

Lateral processes each strongly sclerotized, spine-like rather than thick basally, narrowed apically and downward in lateral aspect (Fig. 7). Epiproct curved forward, thick and blunt apically (Fig. 5, 7). Subanal lobe strongly sclerotized at base, trident-like apically in ventral aspect and membranous at its apex (Fig. 6).
