Ocular tubercles erect, almost as tall as abdomen; eyes lacking. Proboscis very short, subconical. Abdomen very tall, erect. Chelifore scapes I-segmented; chelae fully developed, with functional fingers. Palps usually 6 segmented, short. Ovigers 10 segmented, short, without functional strigilis; terminal segments with simple spines. Legs slender, with rows of short setae; terminal segments cylindrical; tarsus almost as long as propodus, both with row of short sole spines; propodus without heel or heel spines; claw long, without auxiliaries. Tall, conical lateral process tubercles with broad bases, and base of proboscis not bulbous but more conical; tarsus and propodus together subequal to second tibia in length (Ref. 2115, p. 31-32). |
