Abdominal ventrite 1 weakly concave, microreticulate, with coarse punctures; ventrite 5 basally and laterally with coarse punctures, at middle with subglabrous depression. Penis (Fig. 74b) with sides subparallel in basal 1/2; apex forming long, spiniform, markedly downwardly curved extension, laterally with sparse setae; basal orifice with well-sclerotized ventral plate; apodemes 2.3 × as long as body of penis; transfer apparatus and ductus ejaculatorius lost.
