Aedeagus: basal piece nearly as long as dorsal plate of each paramere (Fig. 11A-C); ventral process of each paramere slender and bent inwards apically in ventral view (Fig. 11A), inclining ventrally in lateral view (Fig. 11C); dorsal plates of parameres feebly longer than ventral processes (Fig. 11A, C), with apical margins rounded in dorsal view (Fig. 11B); laterophyse slightly shorter than ventral process, with apices acute and appreciably directing dorso-outwards (Fig. 11A, C).
