Abdominal sternites seemingly very narrow, pushed under each other (shrunken specimens?). Eye mound as long as wide and nearly as high, but appearing higher due to 3+3 long, pointed denticles pointing upwards and forming a „crown”. Carapace with very few denticles in front of and laterally to eye mound. Single, longer denticle above each coxa. „Thoracal” and all abdominal tergites with single, transversal rows of strong denticles. Venter smooth, only 1st and 2nd coxa with minute granules bearing a bristle.
