Idiosoma obovate, all legs thick and short, shorter than dorsal shield. Dorsal shield obovate, not covering entire dorsal surface, with 36 pairs of setae, 21 pairs podonotal
) located on soft integument next to the lateral margins of the shield. Idiosomal setae smooth, mostly basally thickened, their tips extending beyond the bases of following setae; vertical setae
elongate. Dorsal and ventral shields finely punctate on surface, without reticulation or specific ornamentation, except for a transverse row of denticles anterior to bases of setae
. Tritosternum small, with short base and thin and finely pilose laciniae. Separate presternal platelets absent. Sternal and epigynal shields large, together occupying more than 3/4 of the total length of the idiosoma. Sternal shield about as wide as long, subquadrate, without lateral corners between setae
) absent. Epigynal shield anteriorly with well-developed and broadly convex hyaline part, reaching beyond posterior margin of sternal shield. Peritremes strongly reduced to a very short prestigmatic section. Peritrematal shields small, suboval, located dorsolaterally in shallow indentation of the dorsal shield between setae
() conspicuously long. Gnathosomal corniculi horn-like, well separated and sclerotized; ventral surface of hypostome with seven or eight transverse rows of denticles. Anterior margin of epistome convex and finely denticulate. Palp tarsus with two-tined claw. Cheliceral digits short, chelate-dentate, with straight or only weakly curved terminal hooks; movable digit with a strong submedial tooth. Many leg segments with reduced number of setae; trochanters I–IV with five setae each; femora I–IV with 12, 9, 6, 6 setae; genua I–IV with 12, 10, 8, 9 setae; tibiae I–IV with 10, 8, 7, 9 setae; and tarsi II–IV with 16, 16, 14 setae.
