Left mandible in anterior view (in distal-proximal order) with a narrow quadricuspid incisor process, lacinia mobilis bicuspid with smaller inner lobe, hairy lobe bearing 2 penicils, 1 free penicil, and tuft of hairy setae as molar process.Right mandible in anterior view (in distal-proximal order) with wider quadricuspid incisor process, oval hyaline process, hairy lobe bearing 2 penicils, and tuft of hairy setae as molar process. Hypopharynx with middle lobe notched at tip, with groups of relatively large setae along outer margin of lateral lobes, inner margin of lateral lobes densely hirsute. First maxilla outer endite with outer margin deeply curved distally and with marginal fringe of small setae and 10 simple tooth-like setae of approximately equal in length: outer group composed of 4 strong setae (lateral-most considerably stronger) and small triangular lobe, inner group composed of 6 slender setae, with very small subapical seta between both groups of tooth setae; inner endite with 2 subapical thickset penicils and slightly produced, rounded laterodistal corner.

Maxilliped basipodite with nearly parallel outer and inner margins and wide lamella on distal portion of outer margin, with scaly surface and scattered small setae; endite apically truncate, with 3 enlarged subapical setae on posterior surface and outer corner with 2 small rounded lobes, one of them ending in tiny buttonlike seta; palpus with middle and distal article fused; basal article bearing 2 strong setae, outer one nearly reaching distal margin of endite; middle article with 2 “tufts” on medial margin bearing small single seta each (basal-most one on produced lobe), and single seta on outer-distal margin; apical article narrow and bent inward, ending in tuft of setae and with tiny subapical seta on outer margin.
