Mature males (Fig. 11B) with (34+4) rings, 2.0 mm midbody diameter to (50+1) rings, 3.0 mm. Head (Fig. 12B) smooth, frons flattened, vertigial sulcus reaching to level of dorsalmost ocellar row. Posteroventral margin of cardo thickened and extended ventrally as large, rounded lobe (Fig. 12B; ce). Ocellar area narrow-triangular, triangle apex medial; ca 27 ocelli in 4 more or less regular horizontal rows, dorsal>ventral typically 9+8+6+4. Antennae short, barely reaching past posterior edge of collum when manipulated dorsally; relative antennomere lengths (2=3)>6>(4=5); antennomere 6 widest; 4 apical cones; socket ca 1 socket diameter from lateral margin of head capsule. Gnathochilarium (Fig. 12E) with lateral edges of mentum (Fig. 12E, me) slightly convex, mentum wider than combined lingual plates (Fig. 12E, lp); mentum-promentum (Fig. 12E, pm) junction nearly straight or slightly concave anteriorly; a prominent pit (Fig. 12E, sp) with small seta anteriorly on each gnathochilarial stipes (Fig. 12E, gs). Collum convex, laterally narrowing with rounded corner, margins straight. Ventral margin of ring 2 swollen posteriorly. Prozonites only slightly narrower than metazonites; prozonites with weakly defined annular striae anteriorly; suture weakly defined; fine longitudinal striae on lower half of metazonite, anterior end of each stria bent obliquely upwards towards suture; prozonites and metazonites with surface otherwise smooth, free of setae. Ozopores small, beginning ring 6, opening just above 1/2 ring height at ca 1/3 the distance between suture and posterior metazonite margin. Limbus lamellar, undivided. Preanal ring smooth, epiproct broadly rounded, extend

slightly over anal valves; hypoproct with margin slightly convex dorsally. Midbody legs short, ca 2/3 ring diameter when extended; relative podomere lengths (prefemur=femur)>tarsus>(postfemur=tibia), claw ca 1/2 tarsus length. Prefemur distally with ventral flattening and conical prefemoral pad ca 1/2 femur length on midbody legs; pads first appear on ring 5 legs, diminish in posterior 1/3 of body and are greatly reduced or absent on last few legpairs.

<paragraph pageId="25" pageNumber="26">Legpair 1 (Fig. 12C, D) separate on coxosternite, each leg 1 composed of broad basal and leg-like distal portion. Basal portion here assumed to be prefemur; widest at base, tapering medially, extending anterolaterally at base as large lobe (Fig. 12D; all) with a few distal setae; prefemur marked with several quasi-annular chitinous ridges and anteriorly bearing small field of coarse setae (Fig. 12D; sf), with large subquadrate tab (Fig. 12D; at) extending anteriorly. Distal portion with 3 well-demarcated podomeres, here assumed to be femur, postfemur and fused tibia+tarsus; femur widest, the tibia+tarsus narrowest and longest and with faint annular subdivision; all 3 podomeres sparsely and shortly setose; no claw.</paragraph>

Telopodite tapering strongly, apex spatulate with spreading, marginal crown of ca 15 long, well-spaced setae; pseudoflagellum (Figs 11A, 13A; ps) branching off at ca 3/4 telopodite height on anterior surface, tapering to blunt tip and curving medially to terminate proximal to telopodite apex.</paragraph>
