Male genitalia. Pygofer in lateral view triangulate, with small lobe apically, sparsely setose apically ( Fig. 20 View Figures 20-27 ); aedeagus asymmetrical, slightly broad, tubular in dorsal and lateral views, with 2 long, subapical processes, 1 very narrow, glabrous, 1 broad, with few spines apically in ventral view, 2 spines subapically in lateral view, shaft toothed on dorsal margin between apex and base of subapical process, gonopore near base of processes ( Fig. 21, 22 View Figures 20-27 ); style long and narrow, apex tapered ( Fig. 23, 24 View Figures 20-27 ); dorsal connective long, broad basally, tapered apically ( Fig. 25 View Figures 20-27 ); connective large, membranous arms broad, tapered distally, stem oval ( Fig. 26 View Figures 20-27 ) subgenital plate long, sparsely setose apically ( Fig. 27 View Figures 20-27 ).
