Male genitalia with subgenital plates ( Figures 91–93 View Figures 83–93 ) with expanded basal region elongate and apical spine-like process short and robust, about half length of expanded basal region, directed dorsally at a nearly 90 ° angle in lateral view. Style as in Figure 92 View Figures 83–93 . Aedeagal shaft ( Figure 92 View Figures 83–93 ) laterally compressed, in lateral view relatively short and broad with a very fine, anterodorsally directed filamentous process, arising subapically from dorsal margin of an expanded membranous apex.

Remarks
This species can be distinguished by its relatively short and stout aedeagal shaft with the apex expanded and with a filamentous process arising subapically from the dorsal margin and by its stout subgenital plates with a dorsally directed apical process.
