Diagnosis. General colour yellowish brown. Cuticle anterodorsal to eyes with same characteristics as the rest of the head. Occipital spines gradually diverging. Segment Iapproximately five times longer than the head. Hood well developed. Median pronotal carina same height along its entire length. Paranota with two rows of areolae.
