gradually to frons, frons broadly conical in shape, with convex sides and 

 rounded tip. Prothorax much longer and slightly narrower than in 

 huilensis; pterothorax shorter and of different shape; attachment of head 

 to prothorax different from huilensis; combined segments VIII and IX 

 much wider anteriorly. Claspers much shorter than in tenuicapitis and 

 bear 6 long and 2 very short setae distally, instead of 7 long ones. 



Setae on posterior margin of pterothorax extend to middle of V; in 

 tenuicapitis these setae are very slender and do not reach posterior margin 

 of segment II.
