Genital shield smooth; distance between St5–St5 [63]. Ventrianal shield vase-shaped, smooth, anterior margin straight, [106] long, [41] wide at level of Zv2 and [44] wide at level of anus, with 3 pairs of preanal setae inserted along lateral margins of female ventrianal shield; 1 pair of preanal pores posterior to and longitudinally in line with Jv2; metapodal shields not distinguishable. Caudoventral setae smooth and sharp-tipped, except post-anal seta, rod-shaped, and Jv5, tick and spatulate. Chelicera. Position renders measurements impossible.
