Male genitalia ( Figs 7–9 ) unique with the long digitiform anteroventral process of epandrium, which bears a long seta ( Fig. 7 ). Phallus ( Fig. 8 ) comparatively small, apex blunt. Parameral setae not in the plane of hypandrium + gonopods: the two pairs are not situated in a plane but above each other.

Female oviscapt ( Fig. 10 ) with mainly blunt marginal and acute lateral pegs. Spermatheca ( Fig. 9 ) short ovoid, surface smooth.

This is probably the commonest species of the genus, which is widespread in the Oriental region from India to Taiwan and Java.
