Pallosome robust, with side struts fused anteriorly; aedeagal arch straight posteriorly, with arms anteriorly broad, distally slender; external parameres stout, distally blunt, slightly curved outward ( Fig. 36 View FIGURES 32 – 37 ). Clunium with a field of papillae over the area of the epiproct, this trapeziform, with a field of papillae posteriorly in the middle ( Fig. 37 View FIGURES 32 – 37 ). Paraprocts with a mesal, strongly sclerotized, distally blunt prong ( Fig. 33 View FIGURES 32 – 37 ).
Color (in 80% ethanol). Body reddish brown. Compound eyes black, ocelli hyaline, with thick, ochre centripetal crescents ( Fig. 32 View FIGURES 32 – 37 ).
