Description. Female. Sternite VII broad at basal 0.33 then abruptly narrowed and dome-shped posteriory, about 1.6× as wide at base as long medially (Fig. 61L). Valvula I broad basally, narrowed distally, with sculptured area short, less than 0.25 width of valvula and occupying about half posterior length, strigae oblique (Figs 67 IJ). Valvula II broad basally, straight, narrowed distally, toothed area distinctly convex, with teeth distinct and slightly separated from each other, toothed area occupying distal 0.4 length (Figs 67 KL).
