Connection part of ductus bursae to bursa copulatrix granulated in front-terminally with numerous very small, distinct spines, and not granulated in back-terminally with numerous very small, sparse spines. Bursa copulatrix eliptical. A bump, roundish sclerotised plate in the nearly center of bursa copulatrix and in line with ductus seminalis. And, with numerous very small, sparse spines below the sclerotised plate area.
