Derm of both young and mature specimens membranous, apart from a sclerotized crescent around anal plates. Dorsal setae sharply spinose, each about 10 (813) µm long, diameter of basal socket about 2 (25) µm; setae scattered rather sparsely throughout dorsum. Dorsal microducts not observed. Preopercular pores circular or oval, each with central surface granular, each about 4 (36) µm in diameter, present in a scattered group anterior to anal plates, extending anteriorly to approximately dorsad to prothorax, numbering 58 (4560). Tubular ducts common throughout dorsum, except in area covered by preopercular pores; each duct moderately large, with a narrow outer ductule about 8 (812) µm long and about 3 µm wide, a broad, deep, cupshaped invagination at inner end, and inner ductule about 14 (1015) µm long, ending in terminal invaginations. Anal plates together approximately quadrate, each without a discal seta; each plate about 160 (136160) µm long, 80 (5090) µm wide, with a supporting bar; lateral angle rounded, apex rather sharply pointed, bearing 3 subapical setae and 1 apical seta.

Stigmatic clefts broad and shallow, each containing a group of 5 (46) stigmatic spines; each spine bluntly spinose, similar in shape to marginal spines but more rounded apically; each spine 822 (1228) µm long.
