Abdominal sternites densely punctured; S7 densely covered with hairs, hind margin emarginated (Fig. 71), subgenital plate slightly exposed. Supra-anal plate convex, hirsute, with large disc pits densely; middle of hind margin with 8 unequal teeth, deflexed, which are triangular or apically truncate; caudal angles tapering, and same length as the largest tooth between them. Cerci conical, dorsal and ventral surfaces densely setose (Fig. 72). Anterior margin of subgenital plate depressed, anterolateral corners subacute, lateral margins straight and not concave (Fig. 73).
