Female terminalia. Abdominal sternite VII, in ventral view (Fig. 3), with lateral margins slightly convergent posteriorly, posterior margin emarginate with a slight convex median process within emargination; surface with microsetae distributed throughout disc. Pygofer, in lateral view, moderately produced posteriorly; surface with microsetae and a few macrosetae in posteroventral region. First valvifers, in lateral view, ovoid; with small spiniform processes on ventral region.
