Antennae composed of 40-41 articles. Ocelli 1+3,5,3,3. Prosternal teeth 7+7 or 8+8; median interval narrow, slitlike; porodont a spine drawn out into a fine tip. Ventral spines of first legs, 0,0,2,3,2; dorsal, 0,0,3,1,1. Ventral spines of penult legs, 0,1,3,3,2; dorsal, 1,0,3,2,2. Anal legs with ventral spines, 0,1,3,2,0; dorsal, 1,0,3,1,0; claws 2.
