Diagnosis

Female — Dorsal shield with reticulate surface, bearing 36 pairs of setae that are relatively long and tricarinate, except z1, s1, r2, r4, J5 which are smooth and aciculate, Z3–Z5, S4 and S5 tricarinate and with serrate margin. Soft integument bearing only seven relatively short pairs of setae r5, r6, R2–6; seta R1 and UR series absents. Ventral shields with all setae aciculate and smooth, sternal shield mostly smooth, central region slightly punctate, sparse lateral striations, and with two parallel anteromedian lines between st1 and st2; st 1 in the sternal shield. Genital shield punctate (difficult to discern) with posterior margin truncate; four transversely aligned and elongated platelets between genital and ventrianal shield. Ventrianal shield strongly reticulate, bearing six pairs of preanal setae ZV2–ZV3, JV1–JV3, JV4 10–11; posterior margin slightly narrow at level of JV4. Only three pairs of setae ZV1, ZV4 and JV5 on opisthogastric integument, JV5 at least twice longer than ZV1 and ZV4. Two pairs of semi-rounded metapodal elements. Spermatheca with a short major duct leading to a weakly sclerotized shallowly funnel-shaped calyx as long as wide from which a long and thin minor duct arise. Tarsus II with pl2 macrosetae.

Male — Dorsal shield with 38 pairs of setae including r5–6 (r6 inserted sometimes on unsclerotized lateral cuticle), unsclerotized lateral cuticle with the setae R -UR series absents. Sternogenital shield with five setae st1–st5, ventrianal shield bearing six pairs of setae with six pairs of preanal setae, seta JV5 longer than other preanal setae; ZV 5 in soft opisthogastric
