GNATHOSOMA. Cheliceral blade with tricuspid cap only; cheliceral base with dense small puncta in proximal part and sparse large puncta in middle part; gnathobase moderately covered with large puncta, with one pair of branched setae; palpal femur moderately punctate, palpal genu and tibia without puncta; galeala branched; palpal claw with three prongs; seta on palpal femur heavily branched; seta on palpal genu branched; dorsal palpal tibial seta nude, lateral and ventral palpal tibial setae branched; palpal tarsus with seven branched setae, nude subterminala, and tarsala.
SCUTUM. Clearly pentagonal, with prominent, angulate posterior margin, moderately covered with small puncta; AM base posterior to level of ALs; SB posterior to level of PLs (P-PL–PSB = 3–4); PL ≥ AL> AM; AM and PL barbed similarly to dorsal idiosomal setae, barbs of AL longer; flagelliform sensilla nude or having one small cilium.
