Abdominal segments (Fig. 6E) have dense spinose zones along posterior margin from segment I to VII.
Male genitalia (Figs. 6C, D): See also the line drawing given by Viette (1958, Fig. 2). Uncus narrowly elongated. Basal plate of gnathos with rounded caudal margin; median process small, with acute apex. Valva deeply concave on costa, with elongated cucullus; ventral margin arched, emarginated at lower corner. Juxta with short, semi-ovate latero-caudal lobes. Aedeagus as long as valva, broadened basally, gently concave on ventral margin medially, dorsal margin produced apically; cornuti consisting of numerous conic spines and double lows of spinules.
Distribution. Madagascar (West) (Viette, 1958).
