Parthenogenetic female (male unknown): Lorica elongate, elliptical, widest medially, less than twice as wide as high. Ventral lorica slightly convex, dorsally with a strongly developed longitudinal dome. Dorsal dome starting anteriorly at the head aperture, broadening to medially then converging to subterminally. Lateral parts of dorsal dome starting off ventrally concave, dorsally with relatively sharp lateral, and a rounded middorsal fold. Head aperture ventrally a deep V-shaped sinus, dorsally semi-circular in anterior view, broadly U-shaped in ventral view, with stippled collar. Lateral edges of lorica smooth, evenly curved, posterior edge pronouncedly convex. Apertures to the lateral antennas situated near the posterior end of the lateral concavities, slightly posterior to the level of the anterior margin of the foot aperture. Foot aperture elongate, broadest medially, lateral margins converging to both anteriorly and posteriorly. Foot with three distinct pseudosegments, the distal one slightly longer than the second, bearing a dorsal sensory groove near its basis. Two equal toes, these evenly tapering to distally.
