). Habitus cylindrical, slender, without distinct demarcation between prosome and urosome; greatest width at first free pedigerous somite. Body length/width ratio about 4.9; cephalothorax only slightly wider than genital double-somite. Free pedigerous somites without pronounced lateral or dorsal expansions. Integument not strongly chitinized and without cuticular windows. Rostrum very small and membranous, linguiform, about as long as wide, ornamented with two dorsal sensilla near anterior margin.
