The prostatic groove runs on the mesal surface of the telopodite before entering the solenomerite. Distal to the crimp, the telopodite bends a little caudad. A small, rounded uncus arises just under halfway between the crimp and the apex, which tapers to a blunt point bent caudad very near its end, with a small, laterally directed tooth at the level of the bend.
