Head aperture margins ventrally and dorsally almost straight in the middle, dorsal head aperture margin clearly protruding beyond ventral plate. Antero-lateral parts of dorsal plate with large semicircular projections, each with a series of three to five minute, more or less acute spines medially; antero-lateral corners of ventral plate with broad-based, acutely pointed projections with smoothly curved, medially convex inner margins. Dorsal plate smooth, near elliptical in wellcontracted animals. Ventral plate weakly ornamented, near parallel-sided and longer than wide; anteriorly wider, medially narrower than dorsal plate. Posterior margins of dorsal and ventral plate convex, without projections. Deep lateral sulci in well-contracted specimens. Ventral plate with weak, incomplete transverse fold. Foot pseudosegment trapezoidal, sub-terminal, non-projecting. Prepedal fold broad, rounded posteriorly. Coxal plates rounded triangular. Two parallel-sided, relatively short toes, with straight inner margins and curved external edges, then tapering to pointed tips in distal third, no claws.
