Prosternal basantra granulate, with 2–4 pairs of setae; fernal plates with very slender median connection. Metanotum with irregular longitudinal reticulation medially. Fore wing first vein with 7 setae on basal half, 3 widely spaced setae on distal half; second vein with 2 to 4 widely spaced setae. Tergal sculpture weak but complete medially; II–VIII with broad craspedum; tergites V–VIII with few microtrichia on 3 or 4 lines of sculpture; setal pair S2 on VIII three times as long as S1 (Fig. 66); IX with median dorsal setae long and stout; tergite X longer than IX and curving slightly ventrally. Sternite II with 2 discal and 2 pairs of marginal setae, III–VI with irregular row of about 9 discal setae, VII with about 12 medially.
