 Second tergite extending well below colluni, not flattened or excavated. 



Anal scutum covering the valves above, the latter protruding a little beyond 

 it. Valves a little compressed; no margining sulcus. 



Branches of telopodite of posterior gonopods slender as usual but the outer 

 or principal one slightly clavate and truncate at tip; the inner branch much 

 the more slender and shorter, straight, acute, well apart from the other. 

 Basal part of median plate between triangular and semicircular in form, the
