Diagnosis. Female: Gnathosoma : Palpal length about 1/4 length of gnathosoma. Dorsum: Reticulate ornamentation on prodorsum. Tergite C with three distinct transverse rows of cells, grouped between setae c1, and reticulate pattern laterally. Tergite D smooth. Setae v1, sc2, c1, c2 and h unmodified in shape. Setae v1 as long as sc2 (~ 28). Setae c1 and h similar in length (~ 16), both shorter than c2 (~ 20). Setae c1 inserted near midlength of tergite C. Setae d, e and f leaf-shaped. Setae d and f identical in shape (linear with two lateral veins), width (~ 4) but different in length (~ 35 and ~ 45, respectively). Setae e elliptical in shape, shorter than d and f, but longer than h (~ 20). Setae f ~15 distant from each other, on rounded tubercles. Venter: Tegula truncate, slightly arched posteriorly. All apodemes distinct. Apodemes 2 not fused to prosternal apodeme. Poststernal apodeme rudimentary bifurcation. Legs: sensory cluster of tibiotarsus I complete. Seta tc” of tarsus II slender and serrate. Male & larva: unknown.

Type material deposition: holotype ♀ and three paratypes ♀ deposited at FAAS .
