Gravid female, incomplete; body measuring 20 mm long and 2 mm wide, with seven thoracic (Fig. 2D) segments. Crown 8 mm long, slightly involuted ventrally at base, with 17 radioles on each side, connected by an inconspicuous membrane, nearly 1/8th of length of radioles. Radioles with pinnules of constant length along radioles (Fig. 2B, C), shorter distally; tips of radioles as long as pinnules or shorter. Radiolar flanges present, with around 10 short, flattened, flap-like serrations along entire length of radioles (Fig. 2B, C). Radiolar eyes absent. Dorsal lips with tapered radiolar appendages, almost as long as three thoracic segments, with dorsal lamellae attached to base of adjacent radioles. Dorsal pinnular appendage absent. Four rows of vacuolated cells basally supporting radioles. Ventral lips and parallel lamellae present, with prominent ventral sacs directed outside of the radiolar crown (Fig. 2

). Collar with wide dorsal gap, margins fused to end of first chaetiger (Fig. 2F); lateral collar margins smooth, just covering junction of crown and thorax (Fig. 2E, F). Ventral lappets large, subtriangular, non-overlapping (Fig. 2D). Ventral shields conspicuous, first shield trapezoidal in shape, but appearing as an anterior Y-shaped and a posterior W-shaped segment when stained with methyl green; shields not in contact with or indented by ventral tori in all thoracic chaetigers (Fig. 2D). Interramal eyespots conspicuous. (Fig. 2D, E). First chaetiger with narrowly hooded chaetae. Rest of thoracic chaetigers with about six superior elongate narrowly hooded chaetae (Fig. 3C) and 16 shorter spine-like inferior chaetae arranged in two rows (Fig. 3D). Neuropodial uncini with approximately five rows of teeth above the main fang, well developed breast and short handle (Fig. 3A). Abdominal chaetigers with narrowly hooded superior chaetae and shorter spine-like chaetae (Fig. 3E) appearing broadly hooded depending on angle (Fig. 3F). Notopodial uncini similar to thoracic ones (Fig. 3B). Pygidium missing. Eggs are present in thorax and anterior abdominal segments.
