Diagnosis: The lateral and posterior margins of the dorsal shields 

 are bent angularly toward the venter so that a considerable portion of 

 the dorsal shield lies ventrally. The dorsum of the hysterosoma is com- 

 pletely covered with cast skins (which lie one on the other) of the 

 young stages. Each flap of the genital opening is divided into two parts 

 by a transverse suture.
