Morphology. Carapace lustrous and acarinate with thin granulation on lateral margins; anterior margin with a strongly pronounced concavity; carinae almost absent; posterior furrows moderately to strongly pronounced; median ocular tubercle distinct in the centre of the carapace; three pairs of moderate to small lateral eyes, about half the size of median eyes. Mesosoma: sternum pentagonal, higher than wide. Tergites almost acarinate and smooth (lustrous) with some sparse, thin granulation on tergites IV to VII. Venter: genital operculum formed by two plates with a semi­oval shape. Pectines: pectinal tooth count 1516; fulcra strongly developed. Sternites smooth and shiny, with two longitudinal parallel furrows on III to VI; spiracles linear and conspicuous. Metasoma with ventral carinae inconspicuous on segments I to III and granular on segment IV; granulation becomes strongly spiniform on segment V; ventral and latero­ventral carinae intensely spinoid on V; all intercarinal surfaces weakly granular to smooth. Telson markedly elongated with two lateral and four ventral carinae formed by spinoid granules; aculeus as long as vesicle and moderately curved. Cheliceral dentition characteristic of the
