Aedeagus (Fig. 3 J – M) with eight processes. Ventral margin of periandrium with a bifurcated process at apical part, dorsal one long, bend at the middle, directed ventrad, ventral one straight, directed ventrocephalad; on right side, apical part with a triangular process, directed dorsocaudad; middle part with a bifurcated process, longer one curved, directed dorsocephalad, shorter one directed ventrocephalad.

Gonapophysis IX (Fig. 4 F) with two middle teeth, distance ratio between first middle tooth to apex and length of denticulate portion about 1.66.
