Material examined: 32♂♂, INDIA, Himachal Pradesh, Shimla, Pawabo, September 2015, Sunil Joshi ( UASB) .

Diagnosis: Male with epandrium and surstyli distinctly bulb-shaped (posterior view) ( Fig. 6M ). Lateral surstylus longer than epandrium; posterior lobe of surstylus broad, curved in, 10 times longer than anterior lobe ( Fig. 4I ). Proctiger triangular and smaller than epandrium ( Fig. 4I ). Medial surstylus longer than lateral surstylus tapering towards apex with a pair of thick prensisetae.
