Connective with stem longer than arms ( Figs. 1H View FIGURE 1 ). Aedeagus without dorsal apodeme, preatrium well developed with irregular and unequal process, ventral spine at the base of broad process, aedeagal shaft narrow, long with apical gonopore, with dorsal finger-like process narrowed distally, aedeagal shaft with thin pair of pre-apical and apical processes ( Figs. 1F–G View FIGURE 1 ).
