Measurements of dorsal setae: j1 21, j3 40, j4, j5 28, j6 37, J2 39, J5 12, z2 25, z3 46, z4 41, z5 30, Z4 58, Z5 70, s4, s6, S2 55, S4 57, r3, R1 38, JV5 50. Dorsal setae serrated, j1, J5, z5 smooth. Peritrematal shield fused anteriorly with dorsal shield, reaching level of j1. Sternal shield reticulated, distances between St I-St III 70, St II-St II 50, St IV on platelets. Genital shield 60 wide. Ventri-anal shield pentagonal, lateral margins concave, with a pair of very small round pre-anal pores and four pairs of pre-anal setae (JV1, JV2, JV3, ZV2). A pair of metapodal platelets, two pairs of sigillar sclerites, and four pairs of setae surrounding ventri-anal shield. Chelicera indiscernible. Spermatheca calyx saccular, 14 long, 5 wide at mid-point, flared distally, atrium small. Macrosetae sharp pointed, Sge IV 55, Sti IV 28, St IV 75.
