The adult and male genitalia were described and illustrated in Zhang, Li, & Wang (2005). The female genitalia ( Fig. 5 ) are as follows: Papilla anales relatively broad and long, setose; apophyses posteriores as long as apophyses anteriores. Sternite VII broadly sclerotized, helmet-shaped, deeply concave on middle of posterior margin; a Ushaped ridge on sternite VII with a portion of sternite VII posterior to this ridge invaginated under ridge; a long separate sclerite at anterior margin of sternite VII. Ostium round, near lamella antevaginalis; lamella antevaginalis represented by a narrow band, fused with lamella postvaginalis; lamella postvaginalis produced into two triangular projections posteriorly. Ductus bursae broad and short, sclerotized, except membranous near intersection with corpus bursae. Corpus bursae pyriform, with a large inverted V-shaped sclerite extending from entrance of corpus bursae to about 1/3 length along both sides; two signa, curved, spine-like, with rounded base.
