Cephalothorax: Frontal setae on frontal apotome. Thoracic horn small-toothed, not bifid or strongly jagged at apex.
Abdomen: Dorsal anterior transverse apodeme of segment II colourless medially, giving the appearance of being incomplete. Tergites without a median transverse row of strong points. Tergites III-V between the dorsal setae with more or less evenly distributed small points, which are gradually a little larger posteriorly on each segment. Three or four lateral setae on segments II-VI, not taeniate; VI with 2 to 4 lateral taeniae. At least one lateral seta on segment VII, and all those on segment VIII taeniate.
Anal segment: Genital sheaths of both sexes with an obvious small apical papilla. Taeniae of anal lobe fringe short, fringe stopping far short of the three anal macrosetae.
