Movable and fixed cheliceral digits with three and four teeth, respectively. Cheliceral arthrodial process a short coronet-like fringe. Epistome with anterior region triangular. Seta h 3 about in longitudinal line with h 1 and slightly posterior and mediad to h 2. Idiosoma elongate, 230 µm long and 140 µm wide at widest level. Ratios of width of podonotal and opisthonotal shields to maximum width of idiosoma 0.7 and 0.5–0.6, respectively. Dorsal idiosomal setae smooth. Podonotal shield 1.3 times longer than wide; smooth; with punctate band along posterior margin; with 14 pairs of setae, including one pair (j 1) near anterior margin; without transverse line between setae j 4 and j 5 and with two scleronoduli between setae j 5 and j 6. Soft integument along lateral margins of podonotal shield with eight pairs of setae. Opisthonotal shield 1.4 times longer than wide; smooth; with punctate band along anterior margin and with 14 pairs of setae. Soft integument along lateral margins of opisthonotal shield with six pairs of setae. Peritreme greatly reduced, not reaching anterior margin of coxa IV. Peritrematic shield indistinct. Presternal platelets absent. Sternal shield longer than wide, with anterior margin indistinct and posterior margin concave. Genital shield longer than posterior width; posterior margin straight. Opisthogaster with two lightly sclerotised platelets between genital and ventrianal shields. Ventrianal shield longer than wide, mostly smooth, except for a punctate anteromedian lobe and for few diagonal lateral striae; with five pairs of preanal setae. Soft integument around ventrianal shield with two pairs of setae. With a pair of metapodal platelets subdivided into a small anterior fragment and a larger posterior fragment. Pretarsus I present. Seta pl 4 of tarsus IV absent.
