Anterior margin of head, posterior margin of abdominal apex with few simple setae. Dorsum devoid of setae, with granulate texture consisting of tiny fingerprint-like ridges and pits (visible at 50× magnification or greater), with eight conspicuous pairs of intersegmental pores near anterior borders of abdominal segments 18; first pair situated more anteriorly, appearing to extend onto base of metanotum. Head with frontal arms of epicranial suture well developed; epicranial stem obsolete. Pronotum with pair of pigmented plates; external pronotal margins expanded, flattened, surrounding sides of head. Meso-, metanotum similarly expanded, each with two pairs of small pigmented plates. Abdominal segments transverse, with expanded, flattened epipleurum; tergum 9 with v-shaped pigmented plate. Venter concave, without strongly sclerotized plates; legs short, robust, not capable of extending beyond sides of body; pygopod well developed.
