Fe- male fifth limb slender with slender terminal claws. Sixth limb with dorsodistal claw nearly as long as mediodistal claw. Recurved seta of seventh limb with very tiny hairs and spatulate distal tip. Furcae long, slender, gracefully tapering, curved, with small proximal setae. Hemipenis crescent-shaped, with straight dorsal margin, obliquely arcuate, convex ventral margin, and bluntly rounded anterodorsal margin, and with additional lobate anterodorsal accessory lamella; copulatory rod short, straight. Zenker's organ with small terminal bulb; vas deferens arranged in three loose loops as long as the Zenker's organ." (Maddocks, 1990: 110) [details]
