Retrolateral tibial apophysis greatly expanded distally into distally and proximally directed prongs (figs. 596, 643); cymbium without prolateral thickened setae, with strong, rectangular projection on retrolateral edge at about one­third its length, median apophysis with erect lamella at tip (fig. 595).
