The scutum is 0.83 mm
1.0 mm in size.
Capitulum: The capitulum is comparatively large; its length being 0.56 mm.
The base is 3 times as broad as long and is without cornua. The porose areas are
oval, their long axes converging anteriorly; the interval between them is equal to
their long diameter. The palp is longer and the lateral salience is more pronounced
than in the male. The hypostome has 5/5 rows with about 13 teeth in each row.
Scutum: The punctations are fine, deep, and numerous. The cervical grooves
extend over more than half the length of the scutum. The spiracle is pear shaped.

the basal margin of palpal segment II; dorsal cornua are present but less than half-
length of basis; infrainternal setae are four in number, feathery and closely set.
