Diagnosis: Male with epandrium and surstyli distinctly bulb-shaped (posterior view) ( Fig. 6O View FIGURE 6 ). Lateral surstylus longer than epandrium; posterior lobe of surstylus 10̄11 times longer than anterior lobe ( Fig. 4K View FIGURE 4 ). Proctiger triangular shaped and smaller than epandrium. Medial surstylus as long as lateral surstylus with well developed prensisetae. Phallus elongate, 4.5 mm long, excluding glans (0.44 mm); glans sclerotised with well developed patterned praeputium, trumpet shaped subapical lobe and short basal lobe ( Fig. 10 I View FIGURE 10 ). Female with redbrown, elongate oviscape (2.5 mm), eversible membrane long (4.12 mm) with spicules on distal end possessing 2̄3 broad lanceolate projections ( Fig. 12F View FIGURE 12 ); aculeus (2.93 mm) tip trilobed with 4 pairs of preapical setae ( Fig. 14F View FIGURE 14 ); two black, highly convoluted mulberry shaped spermathecae ( Fig. 15V View FIGURE 15 ).
