Capitulum: Basis capitulum is dorsally twice as wide as long; cornua are very
slightly less than one-half as long as the base of basis capituli; porose areas are
elongate, ovate, tilted, and widely spaced. Palpi are each 1.4 times as long as wide.
Infrainternal setae number eight. Hypostome is with 4/4 dental formula, with
approximately 11 (internal) to 13 (external) denticles in a file.
Scutum: Scutum is approximately 1.1 times as long as wide. Cervical grooves
are deep, narrow, sub-parallel, extending beyond scutal mid-length. Punctations are
slightly larger but otherwise similar to those of male anteriorly. Genital operculum
is short, wide, and margins gradually rounded. Spiracular plates are large and sub-
circular, and dorsal projection is small.
Nymph ( Figures 2.62 and 2.63 ) 80
Total body length is approximately 1.3 mm, breadth 0.7 mm.
Capitulum: Basis capitulum is dorsally approximately 2 times as broad as long;
cornua are triangular, approximately one-third as long as the base of basis capitu-
lum. Palpi are broadly salient. Hypostome is slightly longer than palpi; dental for-
mula is 2/2, with seven or eight denticles in a file.
