The observed specimen was pretty damaged and wrinkled. However, it was possible to observe some interesting features. The head is distinctly heart-shaped and somewhat flattened laterally (
Fig. 4
A, C). That the central rod is complete until the posterior end of the head, where it seem to form a triangular area. The transversal fold of the head seems to be the lateral branches of the central rod. Only the exterior opening of the Tömösváry’s organ is visible (

arrow
). The tergites are emarginated posteriorly, with small tips, not visible in all tergites (
Fig. 4
A, B). Lateral machrochaetae are present on all tergites and the presence of a single pair in the penultimate one is characteristic of this species (
Fig. 4
D). Cuticle of tergites glabrous. Cerci conical, with straight angles and a moderate number of setae (
Fig. 4
D). The trichobothria’s pit do not present conspicuous setae.
