Gonopods: lateral incision of coxa (li) deep with rounded bottom, curving distad, basally delimited by triangular tooth; apical palette (pa) obliquely rounded, much longer than broad; telomere describing a c. 270° curve in almost one plane; mesal-posterior lamella of telomere (mpl) moderately developed; anterior margin of telomere without a triangular tooth; telomere tip with densely microspiculate margins and internal surface.
