Scutum: Scutum is approximately 1.3 times as wide as long. Cervical grooves
are short, narrow, parallel, reaching almost to mid-length of scutum. Punctations
are shallow, rare. Integument is dorsally and ventrally as illustrated.
Legs: Coxa I are with a fairly large, elongate triangular spur; II are with a short-
er, wider spur just barely overlapping basal margin of coxa; III and IV are with
small, more plate-like spurs that do not extend beyond margin.
