Differs from all other species of the genus by the unusually complex gonopodal structure, i.e. the presence of a particularly prominent, distolateral, gonocoxal lobe (lo) that protects a similarly clearly exposed telopodite, the latter being largely represented by a high apicomesal lobe/outgrowth (ab) that carries a highly peculiar, large, tube-shaped solenomere (tu). The gonocoel is shallow and conceals only the bases of the telopodites (
