This species is characterized by the subrectangular, apically concave valva, the sacculus exceeding the end of the valva and the phallus with denticles in distal 2/ 5 in the male genitalia (Fig. 4c); and the larger antrum with posterior margin concave medially in the female genitalia (Fig. 5c).

Male genitalia (Fig. 4c): Uncus with posterior margin straight, gently concave medially. Socius oblique outward slightly, tapered toward tip, armed with thick setae. Valva nearly rectangular, slightly widened distally, scattered with six to seven short setae below costa, ventral margin with sparse long setae, apex concave, with long setae dorsolaterally (shed easily); sacculus about 2/5 width of valva, exceeding end of valva, narrowed to a triangle distally, with several short thorns. Saccus 2.4 times length of socius, widened basally, gradually narrowed to basal 2/5, subparallel from basal 2/5 to before pointed apex. Phallus about four times length of valva, weakly sinuate, basal 3/5 evenly thick, distal 2/5 thinner, with denticles, with a sharp apical process; cornuti consisting of a cluster of slender spinules, placed from basal 2/5 to 3/5 of phallus.
