Description.

Male. Large-sized for the genus. Large spines on femora black and surface at base of the spines with large black spots. ( Fig. 2C View FIGURE 2 )

Tenth abdominal tergum extremely elongated, much longer than wider. Central process strongly produced, strongly deflexed after distal half; apex rounded, with emarginated apical margin; lateral processes indistinct. ( Fig. 3E View FIGURE 3 ) Epiproct elongated, slightly longer than wide, nearly spindle-shaped, gradually expanding from base to end; distal half swollen, with dorsal surface strongly concave towards the inside symmetrically, without long black heavy bristles on the ventral surface. Lateral margin of epiproct broadly concave; each posterior lateral corner extending and shaping into an upcurved elongated thin sharp spine. ( Fig. 3E View FIGURE 3 ) Cerci long, but shorter than epiproct. Subgenital plate shorter than tenth abdominal tergum; broad at base and then abruptly constricted, straight, slightly dorsally curved in lateral view, deeply divided; a pair of apical lobes narrow, straight, almost parallel in ventral view; base of inner margin of subgenital plate with black spots. ( Fig. 3F View FIGURE 3 )

Female. Similar to male. Subgenital plate elongated, longer than wide, apex deeply divided; apical lobes very broad, leaf-shaped, nearly square; apex truncated, posterior margin with wavy edge. Ovipositor equally broad throughout, curved upwards; dorsal margin with truncated and serrated apical part; ventral margin with spiniferous apical part. ( Fig. 5A, B View FIGURE 5 )
