), which might be due to a lower number of specimens analyzed in the present study. Legs with eight transverse leg rings bearing dermal papillae; four complete spinous pads, which are smaller towards distal leg portion; fifth vestigial spinous pad present on some legs; first and last pairs of legs reduced in size, but with four complete spinous pads; feet with two anterior and one posterior foot papillae. Eversible coxal vesicles present within coxal furrows on ventral side of each leg, with the exception of fourth and fifth leg pairs, in which they are missing.
