wide. Midbody metaterga with 46 transverse, often rather irregular rows of piligerous tuberculations or obliterated areations between always strongly developed and laterally similarly piligerous crenulate / tuberculate paraterga, these being sub-horizontal to upturned. Gonopods less elaborate and more simple than in the other genera, both coxites and densely setose prefemorites equally short and fused medially; femorites (fe) mostly slender, subcylindrical, at most only insignificantly flattened sagittally, contiguous medially and fused in basal 1 / 3, with a sternal rudiment visible ventrally at the very base, bare to sometimes sparsely setose until acropodite, the latter (= acropodite) basically tripartite, a mostly distinct, occasionally branching and only rarely missing solenomere branch (sl) lying between and typically flanked by two or three branches of a rather simple to elaborate solenophore: one medial (mb), this only rarely subdivided into an apical (ab) and a subapical branch (sb), and the other lateral (lb).
