Diagnosis: Male with epandrium and surstyli bulb-shaped (posterior view) ( Fig. 6H ). Lateral surstylus longer than epandrium, posterior lobe of surstylus 10 times longer than anterior lobe ( Fig. 4D ). Proctiger as high as long smaller than epandrium. Medial surstylus as long as lateral surstylus.
