Cephalon expanded anteriorly, constricted anterior to first lateral processes, 0.52 times total trunk length, without ornamentation; ocular tubercle a hardly-distinguishable slight dome near anterior margin, without eyes; palp, chelifore and proboscis attachment on anterior face of cephalon. Lateral processes without tubercles, with single fine, curved spines on anterior and posterior faces, processes 1 and 2 nearly touching, processes 2 and 3 not separated, processes 3 and 4 separated by less than their own diameter; first lateral process curved anteriorly. Abdomen elongate, downcurved, reaching just past distal edge of coxa 1 of leg 4, with distinct basal articulation, bearing laterodistal and dorsodistal slender curved spines.
