Poroids iv3 on the interscutal membrane anteriorly to setae st4. Distances between setae st1–st1 50 (48–51), st2–st2 53 (51–55), st1–st2 32 (31–32). Genital shield almost smooth, genital sigilla visible (1–3 pairs). The posterior margin of the genital shield is straight. The 4 th and 5 th pair of genital sigilla clearly visible anteriorly to the setae ZV1. The 6 th genital sigilla postero-paraxially to the setae ZV1. Ventrianal shield pentagonal, slightly striated, with four pairs of pre-anal setae, JV1, JV2, JV3 and ZV2.
