The measurements of the specimens collected fit the redescription of this species given by Denmark & Schicha (1983). All specimens examined have a pair of pre-anal setae, different from what was reported by McMurtry (1983) and Guanilo et al . (2008b; 2008c) for populations from Guatemala , Peru and Argentina , whose members have between none and two pre-anal setae.
