Hypopygium of $ (text-fig. 9) differs in many respects from that of analis, with a large patch of setae on dorsum of basal parts and with long setae on outer ventral aspect of neck region and along ventral margin to about the middle, with the inner apical angles in neck region not projecting beyond bases of beaked apical joints, provided along their dorsal edges with about 13-14 stouter spine-like setae; beaked apical joints also more or less triquetrous, hollowed out basally below, the edges sharply carinate, the dorsal edge slightly broader and provided with a feeble crest of spines, with the beak smooth, comparatively broad, not very sharply.
