Black, shiny despite dense microtrichia. T25 and S25 heavily sclerotized, sparsely longsetose; pleural membrane with sparse setae. Preabdomen slightly shorter than length of head + thorax. Postabdomen largely retracted into preabdomen, with only last few segments exposed, broad as far as can be seen and likely 3.0x length of T5. T6 and S6 hidden; T7 and S7 reduced to pairs of L-shaped plates, each bearing a posterior row of 23 setae. Medial plate of T8 appears to be absent or greatly reduced. Epiproct elongate, rhombic, centrally split into two equal lateral halves, each bearing a dorsal seta. Cercus elongate rectangular with 34 long sinuate setae (2 apical, 1 lateral and 1 dorsal) and several smaller setulae. S8 a broad, rectangular, posteriorly microtrichose plate with a posterior row of setae. Hypoproct broad but short, posteriorly microtrichose with a row of setae.
