with derm strongly sclerotized in older females, with small round or oval clear areas (areolations) present; dorsal setae robust, spine like and slightly tapering with pointed or bluntly rounded apices; tubular ducts absent; submarginal tubercles numbering 8– 19 around dorsum; preopercular pores numbering 8–13, situated anterior to anal plates; anal plates each triangular, together quadrate, posterolateral margin slightly longer than anterolateral margin, bearing 1 subdiscal seta, 3 apical setae; anogenital fold with 2 pairs of anterior margin setae, and 2 pairs of lateral marginal setae.
Margin
with marginal setae slender with pointed apices; each stigmatic cleft containing 3 spines, median spine 3–4 times as long as a lateral spine, both cylindrical with bluntly rounded apices.
