Marginal scales with long spines (0.52–0.55 mm wide and 1.1–1.2 mm long, spine 0.65 mm long); submarginal scales triangulate (0.32–0.33 mm wide and 0.57– 0.59 mm long) and body scales semi–circular (0.51–0.53 mm wide and 0.35–0.38 mm long). Coenenchyme scales rounded with basal big warts (0.30–0.32 mm in diameter).
