Description.

Both sexes. Head broad, frons broadly rounded ( Figs 11–12 View FIGURES 11–12 ). Marginal carina slender. Dorsal preantennal suture extend far lateral to ads. Head chaetotaxy as in Fig. 11 View FIGURES 11–12 . Lateral margins of postantennal head slightly convex. Reticulation extensive across parts of dorsal head, pteronotum, pterosternal plate, metepisterna, tergopleurites, and sternal and subgenital plates.

Male. Antennae as in Fig. 27 View FIGURES 25–28 ; tooth-like projection of scape prominent; rugose area of flagellomere I extensive. Accessory sternal plate absent. Stylus relatively broad and long, narrowing slightly distally ( Fig. 82 View FIGURES 82–84 ). Basal apodeme relatively broad ( Fig. 51 View FIGURES 45–56 ), proximal end diffuse and not illustrated. Mesosome large, distal margins converging, median section concave, rugose area broadening laterally; antero-lateral hooks moderate. Gonopore short, wide ( Fig. 53 View FIGURES 45–56 ). Ventral sclerite as in Fig. 53 View FIGURES 45–56 ; one pore visible sublaterally on each side on posterior margin, no pores visible submedianly. Parameres relatively stout, parameral heads slightly expanded ( Fig. 52 View FIGURES 45–56 ); pst1 situated slightly proximal to pst2. Measurements as in Table 1 View TABLE 1 .

Female. Tergopleurites IX+X and XI separate ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 11–12 ). Anterior margin of subgenital plate diffuse, and here illustrated approximately ( Fig. 73 View FIGURES 73–74 ); seemingly separated medianly, but each section large. Vulval margin shallowly concave, on each side with 19–22 (one side in one specimen with 27) short setae marginally. Posterior lobes of abdomen broad and slightly elongated ( Fig. 73 View FIGURES 73–74 ). Subvulval plates tapering distally; proximal end reaches anterior to vulval margin. Measurements as in Table 1 View TABLE 1 .
