Holotype 29 mm long, 1.5 and 3.0 mm wide on midbody pro- and metazonae, respectively. In width, segment 2-4 <collum <head <5-7 <8-18. Coloration rather uniformly light brownish, some metaterga and bases of paraterga pinkish (Fig. 1G). Antennae very long and slender, reaching back until posterior margin of segment 8 (7) (♂) or 6 (♀) when stretched dorsally.</paragraph>

Collum (Fig. 8A) with at least 6+6 anterior, 4+4 (5) intermediate and 3+3 posterior setigerous spines; paraterga on collum spiniform, directed dorsolaterad, with a setigeous spine anteriorly at distal 1/3 (Figs 8A, 9A). Metaterga 2-4 each with 4+4 anterior, 3+3 intermediate and 5+5 posterior setigerous tubercles; metaterga 5-19 with a pattern of 5+5 setigerous tubercles anteriorly, these occasionally arranged in two transverse rows, as well as 4+4 between paraterga and at least 5+5 setigerous tubercles at posterior margin. Paraterga 2-18 (Fig. 8) extremely long, straight, spiniform, simple, usually with 2-3 very small setigerous denticles on lateral side; only paraterga 19 directed caudad. Ozopores inconspicuous, lying at base of pore-bearing paraterga on lateral side (Fig. 8D). Transverse sulcus incomplete, present on segments 6-18 (Fig. 8B, D, E).</paragraph>
