Derm entirely membranous on young individuals, except for a small area of sclerotisation around anal plates. Caudal process also mainly membranous, area of sclerotisation 235280 µm long, 170175 µm wide; dorsally, sclerotisation surrounded by a large clear area without dorsal pores or setae. Derm with 6 further clear areas: anterior, medio-dorsal and 1 above each stigmatic cleft; posterior abdominal clear areas apparently absent; each clear area with 1 or 2 dorsal setae. Dorsal setae rather variable in shape, mostly rather pointed but some shorter and more blunter; each about 35 µm long, subequal to or slightly longer than width of basal socket (basal socket about 3.54.5 µm wide); frequent throughout except scarce in clear areas.

Preopercular pores: about 20 pores present in a broad transverse band about 23 pores wide, extending along entire anterior margin of anal plates. Anal plates each 153158 (145190) µm long, combined width 125 µm; each with 2 or 3 long dorsal setae on posterior quarter of each plate, each 4580 µm long, plus a shorter setose seta on apex, about 35 µm long. Anal tube short, subequal to length of anal plates or shorter; anal ring setae each about 130135 µm long.

Eyespots rather small and inconspicuous, each about 1720 µm wide.

Derm entirely membranous in young specimens. Pregenital disc-pores present around vulva and across preceding segment, and then with 13 medially and 513 associated with anogenital fold in segment V plus 1 medially in IV; none on thorax. Spiracular disc-pores in broad bands about as wide as peritreme; with none more medially. Ventral microducts absent medially on abdominal segments VVII. Ventral tubular ducts, each with a short bulbous inner ductule, present in a sparse group of 1024 anterior to antennae and in a very sparse submarginal band (1 or 2 laterally on head, 18 on thorax and several laterally on abdomen); most abundant posteriorly associated with anogenital fold where frequent (probably at least 1014 on each side); absent medially. Submarginal setae much more frequent than marginal setae.
