Dentition is 4/4 with trace of 5/5 near the base, with six to eight large teeth in the
principal files.

uted. Lateral grooves are prominent, beginning at the level of interval between coxa
II and III and continuing across two festoons on each side. Cervical grooves are
moderate, deep anteriorly, and concave externally. Festoons are long, well marked,
and the intervals usually dark. Genital aperture is situated between coxa II.

Overall length is approximately between 2.88 and 3.0 mm, width 1.68 and
1.74 mm, widest at about the fourth coxa.

0.54 mm.
Cornua bluntly pointed and about as long as the width at the base. Porose areas are

equal size and eight to ten in each file; in some specimens the arrangement is 4/5
and in others 5/5.
