Profemur and mesofemur with anteroventral ridge ending abruptly 1/3 before apex. Metafemur with anteroventral ridge ending with bluntly angled tooth 1/3 before apex; with denticulate dorsoposterior edge; subapically with stridulatory patch. Mesotibia ventrally with spine in subapical 1/3, apically with premucro. Metatibia apically with uncus and larger subtriangular premucro. Aedeagus (Fig. 10b) with distinct, symmetrical transfer-apparatus; ductus ejaculatorius with bulbus. Intraspecific variation. Length 2.63–3.59 mm. Female rostrum basally simple, not swollen.
