Head: Cranium coarsely punctate, frons much wider than width of eye (FW/EW-20/35); antennal funicular antennomeres subfiliform, 9 th antennomere triagonal, 10 th transverse, 11 th antennomere subovoid ( Fig. 5 View Figs 2-21 ).

Abdomen: Male pygidium not incised at middle of anterior margin; phallobase slightly sclerotized ventrally, lobes well developed, bifid, fimbriate, delineated basally by a transverse sclerotic line, phallobasic rod extended laterally, phallobasic struts contiguous with phallobasic apodeme, phallic apex triagonal, apex curvate, phallic plates wide, bifid distally (Fig, 83).
N a t u r a l H i s t o r y: The only available specimen was collected in December at 915 m.
D i s t r i b u t i o n ( Fig. 91 View Fig ): Known only from the type locality.
