Tibia - retrolateral tibial apophysis - characteristicsretrolateral process - RTA. dorsal serration distinct. base of RTA distinctly wider than distal section (consider also retrolateral view). RTA in ventral view medium-sized in width (between 3x longer than broad and 4.5x). RTA in ventral view stout (less than 3x longer than broad). RTA long. RTA in retrolateral view with slight ventral orientation (less than 10° angle). RTA in retrolateral view without bent (or just indistinct bent). Tibia - ventral bump - sizeabsent or at least not recognisable as such. very short and indistinct. Tibia - ventral bump - characteristicspresent. absent. inconspicuous. Cymbium: General shapeelongated. Scopula lengthmoderate or short (covering less than distal 1/2 of dorsal cymbium). Presence of prominent ridges or extensions ventrally present. Tegulum: Widthtegulum narrower than cymbium. tegulum as broad as cymbium. General shapeelongated. Shape of proximal halfproximal tegulum lobe present. Proximal lobe - positiondistinctly shifted centrally. Proximal lobe - size rel.relatively narrow. Proximal lobe - shaperegularly rounded. Special structureswithout special structures. Sperm duct - locationoccupying more than retrolateral 3/4 of tegulum. Sperm duct - shapedouble-stacked S-shaped, (very depressed). Median hematodocha - presencepresent. Terminal hematodocha - presencepresent. Embolus: Base positioncentro-distally (or even retrolatero-distally). Base circle sizelarge (width between 2/3 and 3/4 the width of tegulum).
