e'. Subgenital plate of male almost or quite as broad as the marginal length, 

 its apical margin generally notched; cerci broad and nearly equally broad

 more than twice and nevt-r thrice as long as the middle breadth (exce])t in 

 a few cases, and tlien the apical margin of the subgenital plate is mesially 

 notched), very broadly rounded at apex.
