Femora edentate. Meso- and metafemur with anteroventral ridge weakly crenate; anterior surface densely coarsely punctate-rugose, each puncture with recumbent piliform scale. Metafemur with dorsoposterior edge simple, indistinct; subapically with stridulatory patch. Abdominal ventrites 1–2 concave, subglabrous, microreticulate, weakly rugose; ventrite 5 with median depression bordered by sublateral swellings, punctate, microreticulate.
