The arms cover the epiproct laterally and a pair of C-shaped sclerites is present at the apex of epiproct ( Figs. 1-2 ). The ventral sclerite is spinulose with a pair of symmetrical, J-shaped ventral ridges that converge medially from base to the blunt apex ( Fig. 3 ). The lateral knob is weakly sclerotized and covered with spinules ( Figs. 1-2 ). This species is presently known only from the east-central coastal Jiangsu Province of China, north of Shanghai to Suzhou.
