, generally agree with the males, but in general, they are larger than males. The abdomen of females is dome-shaped and forms a brood cavity that covers the entire thoracic sternum reaching up to the base of the legs. The thoracic sternum has a longitudinal median groove and numerous short setae that are scattered over the surface. In young non-brooding females, the sternum is slightly narrower. The vulvae are oval in shape, sternal in position, elevated and relatively large.
