Diagnosis.

A species of Pachymerium with two paired clypeal areas; forcipular coxosternite with chitin-lines, which extend for most part of the length of the coxosternite, but do not reach the anterior margin; both forcipular trochanteroprefemur and tarsungulum with relatively small denticles; 41-69 leg-bearing segments; ventral pore-fields present, also on the posterior part of the trunk, where they are reduced to two paired posterior groups on each metasternite; ultimate metasternite trapezoidal, approximately as long as wide, distinctly tapering towards the posterior margin; all coxal pores sparse from the ventral to the dorsal sides of the coxopleura.
