Dorsal scutum covering more than 3/4 of abdomen length, more than 1/2 to most of abdomen width, not fused to epigastric scutum. Postepigastric scutum almost semicircular, covering about 1/3 of abdomen length. Leg spination: femora: I p0-0-2, r1-1-1; II p0-0-1, r1-1-0; tibiae: I v4-4- 2; II v4-4-0; metatarsi: I v2-1p-2; II v2-0-2. Anterior genitalic process with basal projections, not expanded anteriorly.
