Male genitalia: Pygofer (Fig. 31) longer than width, rounded at apex, with spine-like process along ventral margin. Style (Fig. 32) long, expanded subapically, narrowing then to acute apex. Aedeagus (Fig. 33-34) stout, C-shaped in lateral view, narrowing from base to nearly acute apex, with pair of lateral processes from middle of shaft extending along shaft to near apex.
