Male genitalia (Figs 55–56). Pygofer larger in its middle section than along upper or basal margin, posterior margin clearly curved posteriorly, its basal apex protrudes into a distinct extension on which the subgenital plates are attached. Pygofer height: 1.8 mm. Subgenital plates long, large at their insertion point up to half of their length then reducing in size and finishing with a very pointed apex, total length greater than pygofer height (2 mm). Aedeagus with a single protrusion on its anterior margin large at base and finishing into a point, two dorsal extensions with the posterior one finishing with a bifid apex.

Nomenclatural note. The original description does not allow us to identify the number of the specimens examined by the author. In Fallou’s collection (MNHN), the mention “ type ”, was not attached to the specimen present in the collection but written on the label placed at the bottom of the box along with the species name. Since only one representative for this species was present in Fallou’s collection (along with a single pin hole in the place dedicated to this species in the original collection box), this specimen is then recognised as being the holotype.
