Posterior portion is somewhat V-shaped and sinuous along inner margins, posterior terminus marked by either a single (Fig. 7C) or paired (Figs 7A–8B) medially-directed subtriangular projections. Crenulations absent from inner margins of cleft..
Male - epiproct. Base very broad and subquadrate in shape, narrowing to anteriorly-recurved and broadly tapering terminal spine, no accessory spine present although a small subterminal posterior nub may be present (Figs 7D–F). Subquadrate base varies from rounded broadly to right angular in shape. No accessory spine or cusp present, but a minute, very low, medially-positioned hump is present along the anterior, recurved portion of epiproct (Figs 7D–F).
