When closed, valvae protruding the distal end of the tegumen. Valvae slender, clasper of the sacculus more sclerotized, covered with 4–6 short spines. Cucullus is long and slender, directed downwardly. Vinculum broad, the lobes laterally hardly pronounced. Saccus long and straight, not enlarged caudally.
