VA shortly and roundly everted right dorso-apically, vested with short and weakly chitinous spines. VLR roundly everted dorsally. DA semicircular swollen right latero-basally. DLL roundly swollen, vested numerously with spines, which are weakly chitinous. VB slightly and roundly swollen left latero-ventrally, vested numerously with long spines, which are forming a spot. Flagellum very long and thin, S-shaped. Medial tooth extending apically, weakly curved at apical 1/3.

Remarks. This species is clearly distinguished from other members of Calochroa by the characteristics lacking B.
