Diagnosis "Diagnosis.—Carapace very small, ovate-oblong in lateral view; dorsal margin broadly and gently arched; anterior margin broadly rounded and slightly truncate; ventral margin with rather shallow ventral indentation, not up-swung posteriorly, broadly rounded posterior angle of about 50º; zone of concrescence broad, vestibules correspondingly restricted.
Male fifth limbs very asymmetrical; right limb with sinuate podomere II, just one elongate peg, one very long dorsal seta, and a short, right-angled, tapering distal hook recurved at 85'; left limb with slender podomere II, one acutely pointed peg, a long dorsal seta, and a tiny, nearly straight, acutely pointed distal hook curved at 158°. Female fifth limb slender with slender terminal claws. Sixth limb with dorsodistal claw nearly as long as mediodistal claw. Recurved seta of seventh limb with very tiny hairs and spatulate distal tip. Furcae long, slender, gracefully tapering, curved, with small proximal setae. Hemipenis crescent-shaped, with straight dorsal margin, obliquely arcuate, convex ventral margin, and bluntly rounded anterodorsal margin, and with additional lobate anterodorsal accessory lamella; copulatory rod short, straight. Zenker's organ with small terminal bulb; vas deferens ar- ranged in three loose loops as long as the Zenker's organ." (Maddocks, 1990: 110) [details]
