Body stocky and about 105 µm long. Head narrower than trunk and separated from it by a distinct neck constriction. Cephalion clearly demarcated, epipleurae and hypopleurae marked in head outline. Ocellar granules absent. Mouth ventroterminal, without cuticular teeth. Pharynx with reinforcements. Intestine straight, with marked anterior section. Scales partially overlapping, distributed in 20 longitudinal dorsal alternating columns, 30 scales per central column.

Ventral interciliary field scales narrowly oblong and keeled. Furca base short, furcal indentation U-shaped, adhesive tubes long and almost straight. Upper-furcal region dorsally covered with oblong, anteriorly bluntly acute, and posteriorly truncated scales. Upper-furcal region ventrally covered with a pair of big, keeled, claviform, and posteriorly truncated scales.
