Paraterga (Figs 10A, 11A) very strongly developed, antler-shaped, usually three-branched, paraterga on collum with two branches; paraterga 2-8 directed more dorsad than laterad; paraterga 9-18 directed laterad, but clearly ending up above dorsum, each with an additional small denticle at last incision; paraterga 19 directed caudad. Ozopores normal, lying at base of last incision of paraterga (Fig. 11A). Transverse sulcus present on segments 3-18, incomplete (Figs 10A, 11A).
