Description. Male. Head ( Fig. 11 View FIGURES 11 – 20 ): eyes separated by 0.5 facet diameters ( Fig. 11 View FIGURES 11 – 20 ); interocular suture inverted Y shaped ( Fig.11 View FIGURES 11 – 20 ). Antenna: scape cylindrical 1.7X length of pedicel ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 11 – 20 ); pedicel spherical ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 11 – 20 ); flagellum with 14 flagellomeres; all flagellomeres flask-shaped ( Figs. 12, 13 View FIGURES 11 – 20 ); first flagellomere same length as second ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 11 – 20 ); apiculus present in flagellomere 14 ( Fig. 13 View FIGURES 11 – 20 ); ascoids not visible. Palpus formula = 1.0:2.1:1.9:2.2; last palpomere striated ( Fig. 14 View FIGURES 11 – 20 ). Wing ( Fig. 15 View FIGURES 11 – 20 ): Sc short; vein R2+3 obsolete, radial fork free; radial fork basal; medial fork complete; R5 ending at wing apex. Male terminalia: hypandrium narrow, diademe-like without ventral expansion ( Fig. 16 View FIGURES 11 – 20 ); gonocoxite 0.6X length of the gonostylus ( Fig. 16 View FIGURES 11 – 20 ); gonostyli convergent, with base larger than apex ( Fig. 16 View FIGURES 11 – 20 ); alveoli present along entire surface ( Fig. 16 View FIGURES 11 – 20 ); epandrium rectangular; foramen not observed ( Fig. 17 View FIGURES 11 – 20 ); cercopod long, 2.2X length of epandrium, slightly curved ( Fig. 18 View FIGURES 11 – 20 ), with 2 tenacula, one apical and the other subapical ( Fig. 19 View FIGURES 11 – 20 ); sternite 10 smaller than tergite 10 ( Fig. 17 View FIGURES 11 – 20 ); aedeagus asymmetrical, bipartite with left branch smaller than right, curved, pointed at apex ( Fig. 16 View FIGURES 11 – 20 ); right branch of aedeagus with rounded apex (fig. 16); with two asymmetrical parameres ending near the apex of the aedeagus apex ( Fig. 16 View FIGURES 11 – 20 ); aedeagal apodeme trapezoidal, 0.75x length of aedeagus, wider anteriorly than posteriorly ( Fig. 16 View FIGURES 11 – 20 ); gonocoxal apodeme not fused at midline ( Fig. 16 View FIGURES 11 – 20 ).

Female ( Fig. 20 View FIGURES 11 – 20 ). Similar to male except as follows: apical lobes of subgenital plate of females long, rounded, and separated by a shallow apical concavity. Cerci blade-like, 2.2X the total length of genital plate from the anterior border at middle to the lobe apices (distance d). Genital complex small, as illustrated.
