Male terminalia; Epandrium in lateral view rather rectangular, twice as wide as it is high, four strong setae, slightly longer than the cercus, situated on the posterior margin. Surstylus projecting posteriorly beyond the shell of the epandrium as a broad U-shaped process, with an additional smaller finger-like projection at the base of the cercus. Cercus long and club-shaped, almost twice the height of the epandrium. In ventral view inner margin of the surstylus setulose, cerci expanded apically. Phallus in lateral view, an open, hook- like structure, apical section not exceeding the length of the basal section.
