Paratype. 2♂, 1♀, same data (IZCAS). Description. Male. Large-sized for the genus. Large spines on femora black and surface at base of the spines with large black spots. (Fig. 2C) Tenth abdominal tergum extremely elongated, much longer than wider. Central process strongly produced, strongly deflexed after distal half; apex rounded, with emarginated apical margin; lateral processes indistinct. (Fig. 3E) Epiproct elongated, slightly longer than wide, nearly spindle-shaped, gradually expanding from base to end; distal half swollen, with dorsal surface strongly concave towards the inside symmetrically, without long black heavy bristles on the ventral surface. Lateral margin of epiproct broadly concave; each posterior lateral corner extending and shaping into an upcurved elongated thin sharp spine. (Fig. 3E) Cerci long, but shorter than epiproct. Subgenital plate shorter than tenth abdominal tergum; broad at base and then abruptly constricted, straight, slightly dorsally curved in lateral view, deeply divided; a pair of apical lobes narrow, straight, almost parallel in ventral view; base of inner margin of subgenital plate with black spots. (Fig. 3F) Female. Similar to male. Subgenital plate elongated, longer than wide, apex deeply divided; apical lobes very broad, leaf-shaped, nearly square; apex truncated, posterior margin with wavy edge. Ovipositor equally broad throughout, curved upwards; dorsal margin with truncated and serrated apical part; ventral margin with spiniferous apical part. (Fig. 5A, B)
