Aedeagus in fully inflated condition (Fig. 6 I) significantly and acutely curved at the base of CM in lateral view; CM cylindrically swollen, slightly dilated basally; phallus cylindrically swollen in basal half, thence tapered apically. Phallic ventral membrane (Fig. 6 J) with a linear median sclerite.
