Material studied. 3 L3 reared ex adults collected at: Tunisia, Jerba, Rass Rmel, sand dunes, N°33.883, E°10.933, 7.vi.2006, J. Batelka, J. Straka lgt.; 12 L3 reared ex adults collected at: Tunisia, Djerba, Djerba island, 9 km NE of Houmt Souk, Rass Rmel sand spit, ca 1 m, N°33.883, E°10.933, 25.–26.iii.2014, O. Hillert, D. Král, P. Šípek, D. Vondráček lgt.

Body length 20–24 mm. Cranium: width 2.6–2.68 mm, height 1.47–1.67 mm. Cranium brown with faint sculpture; slightly elongate in shape, with its dorsal margin more or less convex at its entire length (length of dorsal straight portion of cranial between ¼ and ⅓ of maximum width of cranium). Chaetotaxy as in Table 1. Epipharynx: Zygum with 12–15 stout conical setae and 5–7 similarly shaped setae at its proximal base. Chaetoparia with 68–73 and 32–47 setae on right and left side respectively. Acanthoparia with 6–8 falcate setae. Stridulatory area of mandibles with 13–17 transverse ridges, ridges in apical third only slightly narrower than remaining ridges. If apical scissorial tooth of left mandible falcate, than its size not twice large as size of remaining. Transverse proximal row of setae and sensilla on ligula composed of 7–8 stout lanceolate setae and campaniform sensilla combined (mostly only lanceolate setae present). Setae of thoracic legs stout (spine-like) and short to slender hairlike. Respiratory plate of spiracle with 13–17 holes across diameter. Raster monostichous, sometimes with few scattered irregular pali around the main row; with 18–23 pali on each side, septula elliptic more than three times longer than wide. Tegites variable in size from half of the length of palus to four times as long as palus (longer tegites sparse). Tegilla densely setose; average distance between two setae equals from one to two times the length of palus. Tegilla fused into single tegillum, campus absent. Dorsal parts of last abdominal segment densely setose, covered with numerous short and medium long (up to three times length of palus) setae, without ring of prominent long setae or bald circular field.
