Abdomen - Terga unicolorous with wings and thorax; scales arranged in two terminal black dorsal spots in males. Tympanal organs. (Fig. 27). As for ysticalis-themis group, vide supra. Male genitalia (Figs 52, 53) - Teguminal sulcus short, anterior margin of tegumen appears deeply invaginate, two oblong teguminal lobes joined obliquely; uncus trefoil shaped, outermost tip hastate; lateral edges of uncus swollen, appearing re-enforced; uncus with raised, pronounced medial ridge; juxta robust, V-shaped; valvae complex, intrasaccular flange at latero-ventral edge and sclerotized to form a trigger-shaped process; robust, spine-like setae at base of valva; saccular margin angled close to vinculum, not at saccular mid-point; ventro-marginal setae concentrated at saccular ulna; valva with secondary outer, oblong lobe or process below costa; fleshy setose lobe and recurved/decumbent setal plume associated with terminus of costa.
