), mounted in Fluoromount G®, deposited at the Natural History Museum of Denmark. Paratypes include one female (ZMUC KIN-849), collected at same time and locality as the holotype, and three males, collected at stations 016-2010 (ZMUC KIN-850), 068-2012 (ZMUC KIN-922), and 031-2013 (ZMUC KIN-867). All paratypes were mounted in Fluoromount G® and deposited at the Natural History Museum of Denmark. Additional non-type material includes one female from station 033-2014.

No outer oral styles present anterior to introvert sector 6. A fringe with three long spikes is located at the base of each outer oral style. It was only possible to obtain complete information about appearance and arrangement of scalids for introvert sectors 8 and 9. Sector 8: single central scalids of Rings 02 and 04, and paired scalds of Rings 03 and 05. No scalids present posterior to Ring 05, except for a single trichoscalid that attaches through a trichoscalid plate.
