M C); connective slightly longer than aedeagus, aedeagal shaft in lateral view sinuate, slightly broader basally and tapered to obliquely truncate apex, the latter with ventral margin serrate ( Figs 23 View FIGURE 23. M D, 23E).

Material examined. Holotype: ɗ, China, Yunnan Prov., Menglun, 9 May 1991, coll. Wang Yinglun & Tian Rungang ( NWAFU).
