Chaetotaxy: Sometimes very small additional ori present in front of anterior ori, which is 1/2 length of posterior ori. Five scattered rows of acrostichal setulae.

Colouration: Body darker brown; gena greyish to dirty white; dark posterolateral spot on frons surrounding vertical setae sometimes with extension along margin of eye to surround base of ors and (less frequently) base of posterior ori; eye with dark margin along gena and postgena. Legs dark with base of tibiae and apices of femora narrowly to indistinctly yellow; tarsi dirty white, becoming browner apically.

Genitalia: (Figs 781-783 View Figures 778–786 ) Surstylus short and rounded. Epandrial process short and broad. Sclerite of hypophallus slightly longer than mesophallus, narrow and strongly arched; base fused to apex of basiphallus. Length of mesophallus ~ 2.5 × width, shorter than distiphallus and slightly constricted at midpoint. Arms of distiphallus connected at base.
