No appendage setae or spines. Neck: long, ocular tubercle as tall as trunk tubercles, positioned dorsally to oviger bases at posterior third of neck length. Eyes: small, indistinct. Proboscis: tripartite shape with proximal and distal rings. Abdomen: long, downward ventrally to plane of trunk. Chelifore: scapes 2 segments short, subequal in length, chelae vestigial, tiny knobs with minute segmentation line. Palps and ovigers: typical. Male oviger sixth segment with long and short setae subsequent to strigilis which has 3 to 5 rows of narrow denticulate spines. Terminal claw: short, small. Legs: long and slender, without spines or setae. Femur: long segment, tarsus shorter than propodus, claws short, claws of first leg pair small, no longer than wide.
