Diagnosis

Medium-sized species. Prosternal furrow without pile. Upper and lower sternopleuron with pile on anterior part. Fore femur with several pd macrosetae; middle femur with 2-6 pv's at middle. The yellow-brown gonocoxites, including the ventral lobes, are united ventrally, and the apical setae of gonocoxal process form a characteristic dense brush which continues the curvature of the process. In the female, the coarse pilosity of the apex of S8 is obvious.
