Tegument glossy but with minute granulation and punctures scattered on distal half, dorsodistal portion of manus with coarse, glossy, partially anastomosed granules irregularly arranged transversally, defining a depressed area. Setation very dense ventrally, but essentially lacking dorsally, except for five rigid macrosetae (the innermost one thicker and dark, the others thinner and pale) around depressed area of manus.

). Trapezoidal and longer than wide; anterior margin rough and widely V-shaped, with scattered setation. Carination greatly reduced: the only definable carinae are the irregularly fused anterior medians and superciliaries (moderately granulose), and the also irregularly fused central medians and posterior medians (moderately granulose). Furrows: anterior median, median ocular, central median, posterior median and posterior marginal fused, narrow and deep (especially on posterior half of the plate), posterior laterals and posterior transverse long, wide and shallow, other furrows indistinct. Tegument coriaceous, with many minute and abundant medium-sized, glossy granules scattered, coarser and denser in ocular triangle and posteromedian region.
