Tergal process with deep, longitudinally elliptical and sublateral pair of depression, 0.53 x as long as tergite II, diverging posterad, with small, long and thin setae on lateral area, inner margin of depression slightly higher then median region of tergite II; each depression with small tubercle on its inner area, conical in longitudinal section, low, entirely anterad, with small pit on top, with very small few setae anterad. Hypopygium (Figure 193) with lateral stalk triangular; posterior margin weakly concave. Genitalia (Figures 291-294). Aedeagal dorsal body with apex lower than parameral apex, wider medially, narrowing progressively apicad.

of hypopygial plate was not given, beside of the decription of own median stalk.

ETYMOLOGY — The noun in apposition ais means ice in Tok Pisin.
