Aedeagus ( Fig. 4 D-F) with endosomal processes foliaceous and curved ventrally towards apex; foliaceous lamina curved lateroventrally; internal margin of endosomal processes strongly sinuate. Anal tube elongate, 1.93 times longer than broad, broader at 2/3 of total length in dorsal view; curved ventrally in lateral view ( Fig. 4 A, B ); lateral margins strongly sinuate in dorsal view and curved in lateral view ( Fig. 4 B ); apical margin notched in dorsal view ( Fig. 4 C ) and rounded in lateral and postero-dorsal views.
