Peritremal shields with blunt posterior ends posterior to coxa IV. Two different types of setae are present on the podonotum; one of them (p1) short and smooth, other (p2) long, feathered or spiny. There is a large, weakly sclerotised area between peritremal shield and the edge of the podonotum. Adgenital shields are present, with 2–4 opening valves. The opisthonotum has seven or eight pairs marginal setae. The anterior margin of the ventrianal shield has one or two pairs of setae ( Urhan, 1995).
