outer dististyle a small flattened blade that terminates in curved blackened 
spine, margin of blade setiferous ; inner style much longer than outer, base 
enlarged and provided with coarse setae, distal portion slender, apex obtusely 
rounded, surface with microscopic setulae. Interbasal process chitinized, 
boomerang-shaped, narrow outer end subacute at apex. Aedeagus long 
and narrow, basal two-thirds with lateral wing, slender apical third gently
