Brachia membranous, short, usually less than half length of brachial plate. Brachial plates subcircular to subquadrate, often with an irregular outline, each plate 180215 µm long, 105145 µm wide; brachial crater very shallow, with 195290 pseudospines covering most of plate, most pseudospines with 5- loculi, with several setae and brachial pores present around margins of pseudospine group; each brachial pore 56 µm wide. Anterior spiracles each 100140 µm long, 4568 µm wide, surrounded by a sclerotized area; with a group of 3045 pores around spiracles within spiracular sclerotization; canella represented by a group of 4070 spiracular pores on area just outside spiracular sclerotization; canellar and spiracular pores each with 5 loculi, 45 (mostly 5) µm wide. Dorsal spine well-developed, 113165 µm long, 95118 µm wide at base, with a slit-like opening at apex; membranous pedicel inconspicuous, no longer than length of dorsal spine, and perhaps up to 3 times as wide as base of dorsal spine when visible (indicated by dotted line on drawing due to poor condition of cuticle). Anal tubercle well developed, subquadrate to rectangular, tapering, highly sclerotized; pre-anal plate membranous, often hard to detect (not illustrated); supra-anal plate 150255 µm long, 175280 µm wide at widest point. Pygidial apodemes not detected. Anal fringe vestigial, with a pair of bifid plates or thick setae. Anal ring 90105 µm wide, each seta present on a partially divided plate, tip of setae well surpassing anal fringe. Microducts scarce, present submarginally, each 23µm wide. Spermatoid ducts: 1 (rarely 2) associated with each microduct. Dorsal setae each 35 µm long.

Antennae 128158 µm long, 2 segmented, segmentation poorly defined, first antennal segment and base of second antennal segment showing some sign of sclerotization, with latter part of third segment membranous and inconspicuous, with an apical sclerotic plate bearing 2 long fleshy setae and 3 or 4 shorter setae. Clypeolabral shield 150175 µm long, 125130 µm wide. Labium apparently 2 segmented, 6070 µm long, 6585 µm wide. Pre-oral lobes elongate, poorly developed, present along margins of clypeolabral shield. Post-oral lobes present. Legs vestigial, represented by a membranous area 45115 µm wide, bearing a membranous to sclerotic claw 1540 µm long. Posterior spiracles much smaller than anterior spiracles, peritremes each 2330 µm wide; with 2035 spiracular pores present around each spiracle, each pore 4.0 µm wide. Marginal duct clusters distinct, 8 pairs in total; each composed of only large-sized microducts, each microduct 34 (mostly 4) µm wide, with 02 spermatoid ducts associated with its rim. Ventral duct clusters 8 pairs in total, each closely associated with a marginal duct cluster, all composed of numerous medium-sized microducts, each microduct 34 (mostly 3) µm wide. Microducts outside ventral and marginal duct clusters smallest, each 23 µm wide, present marginally and submarginally, abundant particularly around marginal duct clusters. Spermatoid ducts similar to those on dorsum, detected around body margin, appearing most numerous within each marginal duct cluster. Ventral setae each 710 µm long.

is characterized by following combination of features: (i) brachial plates each with about 200 pseudospines; (ii) vestigial legs, each composed of a membranous tubercle and a claw; (iii) 8 pairs of well developed ventral duct clusters, each closely associated with a marginal duct cluster; and (iv) the presence of a vestigial anal fringe composed of a pair of poorly developed anal fringe plates or sword-shaped setae.

differs from all other species currently included in the genus due to the presence of the following features (character states of other species in parentheses): (i) each brachial plate with 200 pseudospines (usually less than 100); vestigial legs composed of a membranous tubercle and a claw (legs usually absent, when present composed of a sclerotic area or claw, but not on a membranous tubercle); and (iii) marginal duct clusters composed of large-sized microducts only (composed of mediumsized and large-sized microducts).
