) Mid-piece ca. 1.5 times longer than wide, uniformly sclerotised, posteriorly pointed. A pair of comma-shaped sclerites on the external side of side-pieces, well sclerotised. Side-pieces sub-trapezoid, divided into anterior and posterior alae by a transverse thickened line, which is convex forwards on the medial part. Anterior margin of each anterior ala sinuous, with internal margins evidently convergent backwards, external margins convergent forwards. Posterior alae of the labrum without longitudinal stripes, without setae or hair-like projections along the posterior margin. Posterior margin of each posterior ala sinuous, slightly convex close to the internal and external ends.

Foraminal process surrounding the metameric pore separated from lateral margin of coxosternite. Telopodites reaching the telopodites of first maxillae; article 1 of telopodite four-times longer than wide, curved outwards, with distal setae on the internal side and a distinct projection on the outer-distal corner. Article 2 of telopodite 1.4 times longer than wide, with distal setae on the internal side. Article 3 three-times longer than wide, with distal end densely setose; apical claw simple and small.

Coxopleuron about 1.1 times as long as tergite and two-times longer than sternite.About 18 coxal pores on each coxopleuron, on ventral and lateral sides only, diverse in size but without conspicuous macropore. Setae scattered on all tergites, sternites and coxopleuron, much denser on coxopleuron. Ultimate leg telopodite 4.1 times longer than tergite and 2.2 times longer than the preceding leg pair. Telopodite of 6 articles, not swollen, with scattered setae, without pretarsus. Anal pore on each ventro-lateral side of postpedal segments. Gonopod biarticulated, with few setae; penis present.
