) (body length of adult animals 478.8685.0 m). Color white (colourless), large specimens often with granules of brown pigment. Most specimens with granular eye spots. Cuticle smooth, large specimens with well defined small areas of granulation on the ventral side. Typical distribution of these areas is the following: one area between legs I, one area between the 1st and the 2nd pairs of legs, two areas aligned in a transverse row, between legs II, three areas aligned transversally between the 2nd and the 3rd pairs of legs, one pair of areas, aligned as previously, between legs III, two rows of three areas between the 3rd and the 4th pairs of legs and a pair of areas laterally to anus. Legs with very fine dot­like sculpture (on dorsal surface and around the claw bases), better visible on legs IV.
