Venter of abdomen whitish yellow, venter of segments 3–5 with scattered thin setae, longer on segment 5, venter of intersegment 6–7 with rounded, thinly sclerotized plate producing vertical surface in posterior view, consisting of posterior dense comblike row of setae. Venter of segment 6 with large brown sclerite extending to dorsal margin, with scattered short, thin setae. Oviscape elongate oval, anterior process elongate, with dark medial strip, large lateral setae absent. Dorsum of oviscape with long thin setae dorsolaterally to laterally from midlength to near apex. Apex broadly truncate, relatively straight, lacking dorsoapical setae. Oviscape with large ventrolateral seta on each side. Intersegment 7–8 without sclerotization.
