Description.
Both sexes
.
Head rounded trapezoidal (
Fig. 10
), lateral margins of preantennal head slightly convex, frons slightly concave. Marginal carina broad, narrowing gradually anteriorly, deeply displaced and widened at osculum.Ventral anterior plate small, crescent-shaped. Head chaetotaxy as in
Fig. 10
. Preantennal nodi large, bulging. Pre- and post-ocular nodi large, connected dorsally by broad ocular band. Marginal temporal carina slender. Gular plate triangular. Thoracic and abdominal segments as in
Figs 8–9
. Base pigmentation translucent; preocular and preantennal nodi dark brown; mandibular framework, margins of antennal sockets, ocular band, postocular nodi, gular plate, proepimera, metepisterna, sternal plates IV–VI and subgenital plates medium brown; meso- and metasternal plates and sternal plates II–III pale brown.

Male.
Thoracic and abdominal chaetotaxy as in
Fig. 8
; tergopleurites II–V with 1
ss
on each side; tergopleurites VI–VII with 2
ss
on each side; segment VI with 2
ps
on each side. Basal apodeme rounded rectangular, lateral margins slightly concave (
Fig. 11
). Proximal mesosome small, rounded, without lateral bulges or extensions (
Fig. 12
), anterior margin convex. Mesosomal lobes more or less parallel. Distal margin of mesosome flat. Gonopore with antero-lateral extensions rounded. Dorsal fringe tilted posteriorly, without anterior thumb-like process. Chaetotaxy: 2–3 ventral
gpmes
on each side of distal gonopore; 2
lpmes
sensilla on each side on mesosomal lobes; 1–2 dorsal
ames
on each side distal to dorsal fringe. Parameres and
pst1–2
as in
Fig. 13
. Measurements as in

.
Female.
Thoracic and abdominal chaetotaxy as in
Fig. 9
; segment VI with 2
ps
on each side. Subgenital plate as in
Fig. 14
; distal margin broadly flattened. Vulval margin gently rounded to somewhat flattened medianly, with 2–3 short, slender
vms
and 1 short, thorn-like
vss
on each side; 4–7 slender
vos
on each side of subgenital plate; distal 2–3
vos
on each side distal to
vss
and near
vms
, but substantially longer than
vms
. Measurements as in
Table 1
.
Etymology.
The species epithet is derived from Latin “
saburro
” for “I ballast; I fill”, with the arbitrary ending “
-ata
”. This is reference to the bulky-looking male genitalia and the distally broad female subgenital plate.
