Diagnosis. One cornea present. Glp-1 posterior to Ds-1. Ds-2 on membranous cuticle. Ds-3 on margin of PD. Two dorsal setae on PE. Female with 16–18 Pgs and 8 Sgs. Tr I–IV with 1-1-1-1 setae; Bf I–IV with 3-3-(3,4)-3 setae; Tf I–IV with 7-7-5-4 setae; Gn I–IV with 8-(7,8)-4-4 setae, 4-0-0-0 Bp setae; Tb I–IV with (12,13)-11-(6,7)-7 setae, 6-5-(2,3)-3 Bp setae; Ta I–IV with 3-3-4-3 dorsal setae, 2-2-2-2 Bp setae. Lc I with unidentate accessory process. Idiosoma length 385 in female. Idiosoma width 307 (idiosoma length 385) in female. Gnathosoma length 230 (idiosoma length 385) in female.
