Anal region with a pair of anal setae and one pair of para-anal setae. Dorsal plates reticulated. Proximal sensory complex on dorsal aspect of tarsus I with small famulus. Chaetotaxy of telofemora I–IV is 4 sts—4 sts—3 sts, 1 ms—3 sts, 1 ms; chaetotaxy of coxal plates I–IV is 3 – 1 (or 2 in ♀) or 2 (resp. 1 in ♂) – 3 – 3 sts. More details on generic features of Armascirus are shown in Skvarla & Dowling (2011).
