(paratype)


7-8mm. This is a slightly smaller species than marshalli, with valves broader centrally than in marshalli, slightly angled there rather than curved, and the apex is not truncated. The harpe is angled obtusely upwards as in marshalli but the portion distal to the angle is acute rather than blunt, triangular rather than digitate. The aedeagus has the apex more strongly produced beyond the vesica to a point, with slight bulbosity but no triangular flange. The vesica is as in
marshalli.
