Palptarsus slightly elongated, longer than tibial claw, about 21 (19–21) long (including setae) with six setae and one solenidion. Eupathidia ul’ζ, ul’’ζ shorter than solenidion, suζ shorter. Peritreme anastomosed distally in an oval enlargement: length 20 (20–26), width 9 (9–11) (Fig. 2D). Venter. Striation transverse between 1st (1a) and 2nd (3a) pairs of setae, irregularly longitudinal (broken medially, oblique laterally) between 2nd and 3rd (4a) pairs of setae, transverse between members of 4a and between 4a and aggenital (ag) pairs of setae. Area immediately anterior to genital flap with irregular longitudinal striation, V-shaped between ag setae. Sacculus of spermatheca small and oval (Fig. 2E). Three pairs of pseudanal setae (ps1–3) and two pairs of ventrocaudal (h2–3) setae present. Legs. Shorter than body length.
