Scapular tubercles ahead of rear shield margin, 7 (7–9), 22 (22–23) apart, scapular setae (sc) 24 (24–25), projecting posteriorly and centrally. Coxal plate I with granules, coxal plates II smooth, anterolateral setae on coxisternum І (1b) absent, proximal setae on coxisternum І (1a) 12 (12–13), 13 (12–13) apart, proximal setae on coxisternum І (2a) 23 (20–23), 28 (28–29) apart. Prosternal apodeme absent. Legs with tibia seta on leg I absent. Leg І 23 (23–25), femur 10 (10–11), basiventral femoral seta (bv) 9 (9–10); genu 3 (3–4), antaxial genual seta (l'') 29 (29–32); tibia 3 (3–4), paraxial tibial seta (l') absent, tarsus 5 (4–5), seta ft' 20 (18–21), seta ft'' 19 (18–19), seta u' 3 (3–4), tarsal empodium (em) 4 (4–5), simple, 5-rayed, tarsal solenidion (ω) 5 (5–6), knobbed.
