Intergonocoxal area long, basally with strongly sclerotized medial stripe, with two distinct setose lobes. Gonocoxa broad, as long as gonostylus, medial margin basally smoothly curved, with normal setosity. Gonostylus (Fig. 9 C) large, laterally roundish, apically slightly narrowed, medially impressed; with short setosity, with a short apical tooth, one megaseta with strong basal body at the apical third and a group of 3 megasetae on common basal body in a more basal position, on the dorsal side of the latter a group of 10–12 megasetae, megasetae rather straight, longer than apical tooth; with a long whiplash seta on ventromedial margin near the basalmost megasetae. Tegmen (Fig. 17 F) longer than broad, apically narrowed, with sharp corners at middle, sclerotized, with large area of small aedeagal ...
