Male. The dorsal abdominal process of the 8 th abdominal tergum emanates anteriorly, extending ca. ½ length of the segment and terminates on the posterior margin as a raised, bilobed process with small, distally rounded or subtriangular lobes ( Figs. 13–15 View Figs ). The dorsal abdominal process of the 7 th abdominal tergum is nearer the anterior margin of the segment and raised as a bar with smaller, distally rounded lobes ( Figs. 13–15 View Figs ). The paired dorsal processes exhibit variation, namely in the distance between lobes and “scaly” nature of the lobes that can be seen only with SEM ( Figs. 13–15 View Figs ). The specilla are broadest medially in lateral view due to an expanded keel, noticeably thickened in dorsal ½, and taper very little distally ( Figs. 1–6 View Figs ); the outer margin has low, tooth-like tubercles present along the outer distal ⅓ ( Figs. 7–12 View Figs ); in caudal view the basal ⅓ is concave ( Figs. 7–9, 11 View Figs ). The subanal lobes are widest basally, narrow and tapering slightly along entire length, slightly recurved anteriorly in distal ½, and extend nearly to the distal tip of the specilla ( Figs. 1–6 View Figs ). The vesicle base is short, body expanded medially and ovoid in shape, and entire surface covered in long, socketed bristles ( Fig. 16 View Figs ).

Female. The 8 th abdominal sternum bears a prominent, broadly-rounded medial tubercle on the anterior ½ that occupies the medial ca. ½ of the segment ( Figs. 17–26 View Figs View Figs ). The subgenital plate terminates in large, broadly rounded or subtriangular lobes separated by a v-shaped notch ( Figs. 17–26 View Figs View Figs ).
