Dorsal setae few, each setose, showing nothing distinctive. Tubular ducts appearing to arise mainly from centre of each dermal areolation; each outer ductule about 28 µm long, inner ductules quite short; outer ducts only slightly broader than those on venter; abundant throughout. Anal lobes mainly membranous, sclerotizations restricted to inner margins, without obvious folding; setae as follows: apical seta both broken; dorsal fleshy setae all somewhat bent; more apical setae 2328 µm long; more basal setae 30 µm long; setae near apex on ventral surface 22 µm long; medioventral setae or outer margin setae 12-20 µm long; each lobe with 2 small 8-shaped pores. Median anal plate oddly shaped but with a blunt apex, about 28 µm long, maybe 40 µm wide at base. Anal ring with 4 pairs of setae, each about 75 µm long.

Small closed pores not detected. Multilocular disc-pores, each 78 µm wide with mainly 10 loculi, in very sparse transverse bands 1 pore wide as follows: abdominal segment IX 0; VIII 0 or 1 submarginally;

Ventral setae showing nothing distinctive; preanal setae each perhaps 50 µm long; smaller companion seta short. Leg stubs small. Antennae unsegmented, each 3033 µm long, 30 µm wide, with 68 fleshy setae; each antenna without either an apical conical point or a shallow setal cavity. Clypeolabral shield small, 125 long. Spiracular peritremes each 3037 µm wide.

. The above description is very similar to that of Lambdin and Kosztarab (1977) except that they do not mention the areolations in the derm and, whilst the cribriform plates are in transverse rows, it was very difficult to determine how many rows; there could be as many as seven. It is here considered that the most posterior row is on abdominal segment IV and, if there are six or seven rows and, if they are segmentally arranged, this would mean the most anterior row would probably be on the thorax. However, the most anterior pores appear to be posterior to the metathoracic leg stubs, suggesting that perhaps the rows of cribriform plates are all on the abdomen and therefore not segmentally arranged. In addition, Lambdin and Kosztarab (1977) considered that there were four sizes of 8-shaped pores on the dorsum but, on the only available specimen, although the size of the largest pores do vary quite a lot (see size range above), the size of the large pores do not fall into two groups as there are intermediates. We therefore consider there are only really three sizes of 8-shaped pores on the dorsum. The following combination of character-states diagnoses
