Gnathos fused, width medium, slightly elongate, curving ventro- 

 caudad, major mesal portion rather weakly sclerotized (especially 

 toward base); apical portion slightly thickened dorsoventrad, clothed

 and armed with numerous minute processes; lateral margins very 

 heavily sclerotized, gradually converging distad into evenly rounded 

 apex.

 costal processes of harpes densely clothed with minute seta-like 

 processes, juxta absent. 



Aedeagus slender, approximately as long as harpe, cylindrical, 

 asymmetrical, linear in dorsal and ventral aspects, slightly sinuate 

 in lateral aspect; base weakly expanded, emarginate ventrad, opening 

 dorsad, approximate basal fourth curving slightly dorsad; approximate 

 apical third curving somewhat ventrad, shghtly expanding distad, 

 broadly opening sinistrad; apex rather broad and very irregular, 

 armed dextrad with rather small, well sclerotized, acute, spinehke
