Dorsal setal pattern 10A:9B; dorsal shield either smooth or punctate, with lateral reticulations, with six pairs of solenostomes (gd1, gd2, gd4, gd6, gd8 and gd9). Setae Z4, Z5 and s4 greatly elongated; setae j1 and j3 at least three to four times longer than other dorsal setae; others short and minute. Peritreme extending beyond setae j1. Sternal, genital and ventrianal shields strongly sclerotized and reticulated, wider than long; ventrianal shield with three pairs of setae and a pair of rounded pores (gv3) in addition to circumanal setae. Setae JV5 inserted on a platelets. Calyx of spermatheca cup-shaped, slightly constricted near vesicle; atrium nodular, attached to calyx without neck. Fixed and movable digits of chelicera with 14 and four teeth, respectively. Genu II with seven setae. All legs with macrosetae. Erect setae present on basitarsus I. Male ventrianal shield with three pairs of setae. Male spermatophoral process L-shaped with well-developed toe.
