Genitalia Female segment very broad and short, the lateral angles 

 distinctly, roundingly produced, posterior margin between the angles 

 truncate with a broad shallow median notch which is heavily black 

 bordered; male valve large broadly roundingly pointed, plates broad 

 abruptly rounding, only appearing as a narrow margin under the valve.
