Male pygofer with microsetae at posterior margin, pygofer ventral appendages with teeth on dorsal side, extending beyond posterior margin; lower posterior margin with a finger-like process bearing several microsetae; dorsal bridge occupying more than 1/3 length of pygofer in dorsal view (Figs 6-8 , 15-18 ). Subgenital plate with basal 2/3 curved dorsad in lateral view, with 7 A-group setae, ca. 30 B-group setae, 23 C-group setae and ca. 49 D-group setae (Fig. 22 ). Paramere with few microsetae and sensory pits subapically (Figs 10 , 21 ).
