( Figs 1C View FIGURE 1 , 2H View FIGURE 2 )

Diagnosis. This species is easily recognized by having the dorsal margin of harpe straight, basivolsellar protuberance broadly rounded, the aedeagal dorsal lobes poorly sclerotized with apex triangular, the apex of inner median filament slightly curved laterad and the basal cover plate wide medially.

Description. Head. Mandible with two distal teeth. Median clypeal lobe subtrapezoidal, with one angulate tooth; median clypeal carina low in profile, complete or nearly so, arched in profile. Frons weakly coriaceous, punctures small and sparse. Vertex crest straight or nearly so. Dorsal pronotal area with anterior margin coarse. Tergal process submedian, consisting of tuft with few setae, without depression. Posterior hypopygeal margin straight or nearly so. Genitalia. Harpe entirely wide, apical margin rounded, abaxial margin not projected; gonostipes shorter than harpe, ventral margin not excavated until outer margin of basivolsella; digitus short, basidorsal corner poorly projected; basivolsella well delimited with wide protuberance, without spines; aedeagal ventral valve with apex aligned with apex of dorsal one, wide, progressively narrowing apicad; inner margin slightly sinuous; outer margin sinuous, slightly curved laterad; aedeagal dorsal valve robust, with two pairs of apical lobe; outer lobe long, narrow, apical margin angled and posterad; apex of inner median filament anterior to apex of lobe, directed laterad; basal cover plate entirely wide, posterior margin slightly incurved medially; apodeme extending beyond genital ring.

Variation. Median clypeal lobe trapezoidal.
