Metasomal tergite II with tergal process with one pair of conspicuous lateral depressions, tubercle present, pit on top and tuft of setae, thick and conspicuous bristles on the border of each depression. Posterior hypopygeal margin straight. Genitalia: paramere with pointed apex, wide, S-shaped, higher than the basiparamere; aedeagal ventral ramus shorter than dorsal body, apex weakly rounded, small projection, laminar; aedeagal dorsal body with two pair of apical lobes, outer lobe long, divergent, apex weakly bifurcated, inner pair membranous; basal process absent; apodeme extending beyond genital ring.
