Male terminalia; Epandrium in lateral view as wide as it is high, with strong setae almost as long as the cercus, situated on the posterior margin. Surstylus projecting posteriorly beyond the shell of the epandrium as a blunt rounded process, this bearing a loose fringe of long setulae, a finger-like projection of equal height which is longer than the rounded process located at the base of the cercus. Cercus club-shaped, approximately 0.6x height of epandrium, setulose on posterior half. In ventral view inner margin of the surstylus setulose, cerci expanded apically. Phallus in lateral view, a long slightly sinuous tube, apical portion approximately 4x the length of the basal portion.
