Derm rather uniformly sclerotised, with a fairly broad band of elongate areolations close to margin, long axis of each areolation running parallel with margin; inner submargin with small oval areolations, these becoming more distinct submarginally and submedially; rest of derm with abundant minute pale spots, and specimens from Nellikuppam with dorsal pores forming 4 longitudinal rows of polygons on each side. Stigmatic rays present; marginal radial lines obscure, indicated by distribution of pores and setae, with 13 on head between anterior stigmatic clefts, each side with 5 between stigmatic clefts and 1113 on abdomen. With 5 [4] pairs of abdominal clear areas plus another at apices of anterior stigmatic rays. Dorsal setae each spinose, with parallel sides and often a slightly capitate apex, each 1113 [1012] µm long, longest medially, each with a broad basal socket about 5 µm wide, frequent in a sparse polygonal pattern; frequency rather variable but setae absent or sparser medially; many dorsal setae each closely associated with a broad membranous area about 8 µm wide (some of these areas lack a seta but it is considered that the setae have been lost). Preopercular pores each convex, 34 µm wide, with 156 [0] pores associated with CA1, CA2 with 3682 [0 or 1], CA3 with 4784 [1719] and CA4 with 4195 [50] pores. Other dorsal pores of perhaps

Anal plates elongate, together narrowly quadrate, with anterior margin generally shorter than posterior margin; each plate with 3 minute setae near posterior apex plus 1 longer apical seta, and with 13 small pores medially; posterior third often with corrugations; length of plates 281294 [306] µm, combined width 195207 [220] µm. Anogenital fold with 3 minute setae at each corner of anterior margin; each lateral margin with 1 seta anteriorly and another posteriorly.

Stigmatic clefts quite deep, each with a narrow entrance, a sclerotised inner margin and 3 (rarely 4) [3] elongate, blunt stigmatic spines, often subequal in length; length of median stigmatic spines 4560 [5060] µm, laterals each 3340 [4553] µm long.

Derm membranous, without a submarginal band. Multilocular disc-pores frequent on either side of genital opening and on preceding two segments only, each side with 2738 [2638] on abdominal segment VII, 3743 [5161] on segment VI and 3247 [4045] on segment V. Spiracular disc-pores present in a narrow band, mostly 1 pore wide, between margin and each spiracle, with 45-50 [5153] pores in each anterior band and 2225 [27] in each posterior band, but the latter without pores in middle part of band. Ventral microducts minute, present in a group just posterior to and on either side of labium; probably present elsewhere but very sparse. Ventral setae: with 2 pairs of setae between antennae; pairs of long pregenital setae on segments VIIV (that on VII 105135 µm long); small setae absent medially from just anterior to vulva in abdominal segment VII and very sparse elsewhere; and with a group of 48 slightly longer setae, each about 1525 µm long, on either side of anal cleft near anal plates. Antennae reduced, each with 3 or 4 segments, segmental divisions between segments IVVI indistinct or absent but usually with a pseudo-articulation in segment III; total length 195230 [220] µm; hair-like setae present or absent associated with fleshy setae in “segments IV and V”. Clypeolabral shield 120128 µm long. Spiracles: width of each peritreme 6066 [6164] µm. Legs present but very small and reduced, with a coxa, short trochanter and remaining segments fused [slightly less reduced, many 4 or 5 segmented]; without claws and digitules [some with claws and claw digitules, each digitule rather parallel-sided]; total length of prothoracic legs 6 083 [90100] µm, meso- and metathoracic legs shorter, each perhaps 5875 [90] µm;
