Frontal suture present. No clypeal area present. In character of labrum 

 suggesting Pachymeroides but the lateral pieces actually come in contact in 

 the middle line; lateral pieces strongly pectinate; median piece more strongly 

 chitinized, with numerous stout subconical teeth. Both divisions of first 

 maxillae separated off; outer division biarticulate, the second article much 

 exceeding the first in length; coxae chitinized throughout instead of only 

 eetally, fused; no lappets present. Second maxillae of geophiloid form; short, 

 coxae firmly united at middle, pore not enclosed mesally. Prehensors when 

 closed but slightly exceeding the head; claw unarmed; femuroid armed; no 

 chitinous lines present. Ventral pores present in a band caudad of middle of 

 plates, numerous. Last ventral plate narrow. Coxopleural pores numerous,
