 Description. Male. Length. 13.0 mm. Head. Ocellar setae equal to or smaller than postoculars. Outer vertical seta of same size as postoculars. Orbital setae black. Four frontal setae situated below the dorsal limit of the lunule in lateral view. Genal setae black dorsally, yellow or white ventrally. First two rows of occipital setae black, others yellow. Thorax. Chaetotaxy: acrostichals = 0 + 1, dorsocentrals = 0 + 3 (anterior one shorter), intra-alars = 1 + 2 (anterior one shorter), supra-alars = 2 + 3, basal scutellars = 4. Prosternum and posterior surface of hind coxa with black setae. Three katepisternal setae. Postalar wall with only black setae. Lower calypter with a central dark spot and a fringe of long hair-like setae along outer margin, extending almost to its posterior margin. Mid femur with a ctenidium. Antero-dorsal surface of mid tibia with a median seta and 1 apical seta. One row of setae on ventral surface of hind femur. Hind tibia antero-dorsally with 1 seta in the basal third, 1 in the middle third and 1 preapical. Abdomen. Postero-ventral seams between T3/T4 and T4/T5 parallel. T5 with golden microtrichosity. Abdomen in lateral view with grey and golden microtrichosity. ST1+3 with only black setae. Three lateral setae on each side of T4. Terminalia. ST5 orange. Medial margin of ST5 ∩-shaped. Inner margins of ST5 arms straight, with rounded apophyses anteriorly and a patch of short setae on the median region. Syntergosternite 7+8 longer than high in lateral view, orange, with golden microtrichosity. Epandrium bright orange. Cercus orange proximally and brown or dark brown distally. Cercus with a pair of rounded projections at the base. Cercus in lateral view progressively narrowing towards the apex, with dorsal margin curved, and an acute apex. Cercus with dorsal setae normally sized and almost uniformly distributed. Surstylus brown, finger-shaped with anterior margin slightly projected towards the anterior body region, and a truncated apex. Pregonite tongue-shaped, curved with the proximal region narrow in lateral view, with a lateral projection, and an acute apex. Postgonite elongated, with a hooked apex. Basi- and distiphallus connected by a desclerotized strip. Juxta without demarcated connection with the phallic tube. Juxta sclerotized and composed of one long plate without juxtal lateral plate and juxtal horns. Juxta curved, with the lateral edges folded ventrally, resembling a tube narrowed towards the apex. Distiphallus with a pair of lateral styli separated, each with a longitudinal cleft. Short vesica composed of one plate without demarcated connection with the distiphallus, which is bilobed distally and equally sclerotized than the remaining proximal surface.   
 Female. Unknown.
