nally; two smaller pads: at the sides of ostium, rounded. Eighth segment 
sclerotized, forming a broad collar around ovipositor. Ductus bursae long, 
coiled below. Bursa copulatrix subspheroid, simple. Ovipositor lobe 
narrow, gradually narrowed rostrad, angularly bent, upper 2 / 3 with a 
large dorsal haired pad. (Slide No. 698 D, allotype).
