with six to nine claws on each leg and 8,8,8,7 as the most common claw formula. Large black to dark brown eyes. Dorsal cuticle with star-like, polygonal structures arranged in transverse rows that continue ventrally on the head. Abdomen with a smooth cuticle, but polygonal structures are present on lateral anal lobes.The mouth is subterminaland lacksdorsalmouthplates; instead, three circular structures are present surrounding the mouth opening. The stylets and buccal tube are relatively short. Stylet supports are not observed using light microscopy. Calcium carbonate incrustations are found only in the anterior part of the pharyngeal placoids. Cirrus Aand E have a single spiral sculpture at the basis. Internal and external cirri have swollen bases. Spine-shaped setae are present on leg III. Legs Iand II have small domeshaped sensory organs, and leg IV has a papilla similar to the primary clava. Females have a flat and males a more raised, nearly papillary secondary clava. The male gonopore is a five-lobed, nearly penis-like structure (not ovoid). The female gonopore is a six-lobed rosette located on a ring-shaped protrusion. Asmall ventral plate is present in front of the female gonopore, and two small depressions (interpreted as muscle attachment sites) are present lateral to the female gonopore. Males lack this ventral plate; the muscle attachments are present, but placed more anteriorly with respect to the male gonopore. Both sexes have enlarged lateral anal lobes (neochiniscoidid anal system).
