Fore wing with 11 veins in both sexes. Male genitalia (Text-fig. 133). Very different from all the other Iolaus, justifying separation as a distinct subgenus. Uncus composed of two small lobes roughly subtriangular in shape and distally strongly serrate ; tegumen very big, but with its distal margin deeply indented, centrally reduced to a narrow band ; vinculum broad, with a short round saccus ; lower fultura carried on a short stalk ; valves small in relation to the dorsal structures, deeply incised the two processes separate almost to the base, upper process with serrate apical edge ; the distal part of the lower process cut to form sharp teeth of which the longest is bent back like a sickle ; penis small, almost straight, the outer part tapering evenly ; uncus and upper process of valves lightly pilose.
