Subgenital plate, in lateral view (Fig. 7), with apex not surpassing pygofer apex; in ventral view (Fig. 8), 3.3× longer than wide, without microsetae; lateral margins rounded; apex weakly tapered and rounded. Connective (Figs. 9, 10) T-shaped, about as wide as long; dorsal keel strongly developed; stalk long and narrow, as long as arm length. Style, in dorsal view (Fig. 11), with outer lobe well developed and truncated; blade widened subapically; in lateral view (Fig. 12), with apodeme slender; blade approximately straight; ventral margin produced subapically and serrated; apex slightly curved dorsally and subacute. Aedeagus (Figs. 13, 14) preatrium weakly developed; dorsal apodeme developed and produced dorsally, dorsal margin straight, lateral margins not produced laterally; shaft long and thin, directed posterodorsally at base; apex with pair of long filiform subapical processes with half length of shaft, directed ventrally.

Female terminalia: Sternite VII (Figs. 15, 16) 2.6× wider than long; posterolateral angles rounded, posterior margin with median third deeply excavated. Pygofer (Figs. 15, 16) about 2× longer than maximum height; posterodorsal margin straight; ventral margin weakly rounded; few macrosetae dispersed on dorsoapical fourth and ventroapical half; apex obliquely truncated. Internal sternite VIII membranous. First valvifer (Fig. 17) triangular, 2.5× longer than wide, anterior and dorsal margins rounded, posterior margin straight. First valvula (Fig. 17) slightly curved dorsally, slender, not broadened medially, 9× longer than wide, fused each other by sclerotized expansion of basal portion; ventral interlocking device long, extending over basal ¾; dorsal sculptured area strigate; apical portion (Fig. 18) tapered and subacute. Second valvula (Fig. 19), 10× longer than wide, not broadened medially; dorsal protuberance absent; dorsal margin with about 10-12 rounded teeth on apical half of blade; apical portion (Fig. 20) gradually tapered to subacute apex; ventral margin without denticles. Second valvifer (Fig.21) 2.8× longer than wide.Gonoplac (Fig.21), 5× longer than wide; dorsoapical margin straight, with 1\3 length of gonoplac; ventral margin and apical potion (Figs. 21, 22) with dentiform cuticular projections and scattered short setae; apex tapered and rounded.

Etymology: The species epithet, tetramaculata, refers to the four black spots on the pronotum.
