Dorsal side evenly and densely pubescent, pubescence golden; microsculpture indistinct.

Male genitalia with median lobe of aedeagus strongly bent, ventral and dorsal margins nearly straight before apex in lateral view; strongly bent to right side in dorsal view; apical lamella wide and short, wider than long, apex rounded; base of median lobe moderately bent and expanded, basal orifice about 45° relative to preapical shaft; internal sac with main flagellum long and slender, slightly sinuous, curved to right side; trumpet-form expansion small and short, slightly bent ventrally; secondary flagellum and apical bursa present; membrane adjacent to trumpet-form expansion finely scaled (Fig. 88).
