Male genitalia
Vinculum standard, saccus slightly produced, rounded at apex. Tegumen tubular. Sacculus bowed; anterolateral margin smoothly curved, terminating in a posteriorly directed apical point. Valvula long and narrow. Transtilla minimal. Juxta a very short direct attachment between anterior junction of the sacculi and the tunica. Tunica simple, its ventral margin extending somewhat anterior to juxta. Vesica slightly longer than tunica, shallowly curved; no annulus; concave side of curve sclerotised. Line of tethered fine cornuti extending most of the length of the vesica.

Female genitalia
AP domed. PA ~2xOP. Dorsal plate of A8 with a discrete sclerotisation occupying ~½AM and more narrowly either side of midline. Ventrolateral plates connected at AM; AA ~1xOP sinuate. OP quadrate, deep broad notch in PM. Ostium near AM. Antrum ~1xOP, tapered from ostium to DB, partially sclerotised with a flanked linear sclerotisation extending into posterior DB. DB posterior ½ ~straight with short dense circumferential spiculation around the flanked linear sclerotisation extending from the antrum; anterior half coiled, hyaline. BC with moderate thorn signum with a broad base plate and curved spike about as long as the base plate is broad. |
