Body length: 680 (
lectotype
, male), 680–747 (measured seven specimens); notogaster width: 531 (
lectotype
), 514–547 (measured five specimens). Body color light brown. Body surface densely microgranulate (visible only under high magnification). Prodorsum with several short longitudinal striae laterobasally. Rostrum rounded. Lamellar and sublamellar lines thin, parallel, curving backwards at ventral ends. Rostral and lamellar setae approximately similar in length, long, setiform, slightly barbed. Interlamellar setae very short, setiform, smooth. Bothridial setae long, setiform, barbed. Sejugal porose areas elongate oval, transversely oriented, located posterolateral to interlamellar setae. Dorsophragmata distinctly elongated. Dorsosejugal suture present, simple. With 10 pairs of setal alveoli and four pairs of porose areas,
