The telopodite (tl) is longer than the coxite (cx) and sternite (st), in posterior view with a well-developed subtriangular lobe (lb) (Figs 2A–B, 6A–B) projecting laterally (Figs 2B, 6B).

The solenomere (sl) is bifurcated into two lanceolate processes (Figs 2C–D, 6C–E). It differs by some parts of the anterior gonopods, the sternite (st) is subtriangular and has paramedian excavations in the basal portion and the coxite with a distal edge is almost transverse, forming a salience (Figs 6A, 7B).
