Adult females and juveniles. Body dark yellow and plump. Red eyes present, dissolved after mounting. External cirri not markedly longer than internal cirri, with swollen cirrophores (Fig. 3C). Primary and secondary clavae (cephalic papillae) of similar lengths. Cirrus A short (cirrus A/body length ratio below 20%), with short and poorly marked cirrophore. Trunk appendage configuration (B)-C-Cd-D-Dd-E in adults (Figs 2, 3

of sponge-like endocuticular layer visible under SEM (Fig. 3D, 4B). The level of development of the rings is not associated with life stage, and some individuals do not exhibit intraporal rings. Cephalic plate large, halved, with scarce and minute pores (Figs 2, 3
<normalizedToken id="F33F9D3AFC100047EAD1F072C54A8087" originalValue="AC">A-C</normalizedToken>

<normalizedToken id="0CE0914782B401D797FB0C7D7660E22A" originalValue="AC">A-C</normalizedToken>

, D). Each of paired plates indistinctly divided by a thin smooth band into a narrow anterior portion with condensed epicuticular matrix, and a larger posterior portion with more complex ornamentation pattern. The proximal part of each posterior portion is thick similarly to the anterior portion, but more distal one is thinner, with reduced and less numerous pores (Figs 3
<normalizedToken id="95C76D2D80ACF7E7FD15919F139590F1" originalValue="AB">A-B</normalizedToken>
, D). Marginally, a single dark epicuticular belt is present, and the second belt appears more centrally (Fig. 3A), however, sometimes it is not discernible (Fig. 3B). Caudal (terminal) plate with typical incisions, rarely sclerotised as if being a prolonged extensions of spine E (Fig. 3B). Its epicuticular ornamentation is similar in form to that occurring on the scapular plate (Figs 2, 3A), but may be less developed (Fig. 3B, 3E).
