Male pygofer with dorsal appendage expanded medially and tapering towards apex (Fig. 20). Anal tube with basal processes long, slightly curved (Fig. 20). Subgenital plate with four long macrosetae in oblique row and row of short rigid setae along upper margin (Fig. 20). Style not long, apex extremely elongate, little less than half length of style; preapical lobe distinct (Fig. 21). Connective Y-shaped with central lobe broad and arms short (Fig. 24). Aedeagal shaft with pair of apical processes, bifurcate near base, upper branch short, tooth-like; lower branch very long; gonopore short (Figs 22, 23); dorsal apodeme slender in lateral view and pretrium expanded laterally at base (Figs 22, 23).
