Marginal setae spinose, with pointed or slightly fimbriate apices ( Fig. 17J). Venter with multilocular disc-pores each usually with 7 or 8 loculi, frequent around vulvar area, less frequently present on anterior area of abdomen ( Fig. 17F); tubular ducts each with a narrow inner ductule, restricted to submarginal area of abdomen ( Fig. 17G); pregenital setae numbering 1 or 2 pairs; antenna 6 or 7 segmented ( Fig. 17K); and legs without tibio-tarsal articulatory scleroses ( Fig. 17H) (partially adopted from Williams & Watson 1990; Wang & Feng 2012a).
