Diagnosis.Projections in the aedeagal complex complex, a distal pair with a hook-like apex; the proximal pair with three expansions, all shorter than the distal; ejaculatory apodeme short, 1.7 times the length of gonostylus; cercus with apical rod-like bristles.
Description. Male.Head subcircular in frontal view. Antenna with 13 flagellomeres; scape slightly longer than pedicel; pedicel subspherical; basal flagellomeres pyriform ( Fig. 13A); 13th flagellomere subcylindrical with terminal apiculus separated by a suture ( Fig. 13H); ascoids paired, 1.5 times the length of flagellomeres ( Fig. 13G). Palpus with three segments; 1st segment with sensilla in depressed pit on medial surface; palpus formula 1.0:0.7:0.9 ( Fig. 13B). Wing. R4+5 articulated at R3; r-m present; m-cu absent ( Fig. 13C). Male terminalia: Hypandrium fused with gonocoxites. Arm of gonocoxites curved in lateral view ( Fig. 13E) and convergent in dorsal view ( Fig. 13F) with some apical, rod-like bristles. Gonostylus articulated ventrally to gonocoxite, bare. Projections in the aedeagal complex complex, a distal pair with a hook-like apex; the proximal pair with three expansions, all shorter than the distal. Aedeagus bifid, ending at the same level of distal projection of aedeagal complex ( Fig. 13F). Ejaculatory apodeme short, 1.7 times the length of gonostylus. Epandrium wider than long ( Fig. 13I). Cercus pilose, apex narrower than base in lateral view with four apical, elongated and rod-like bristles ( Fig. 13D). Female.Unknown.
