Trunk slender, unsegmented; lateral processes at least twice as long as their diameters, with very small dorsodistal tubercles and tiny setae. Neck very slender, extending in arc well anterior above proboscis. Ocular tubercle slightly longer than twice its diameter; eyes large. Placed distally, proximal to small apical cone. Proboscis cylindrical, constricted distally. Abdomen tall, slender, with distal setae. Chelifores long, slender, with several dorsal setae; chelae palms rectangular, swollen; fingers slender, without teeth. Ovigers long; third segment more than twice length of second; 2 terminal segments with many setae. Legs long, increasingly setose distally; long dorsodistal spines usually longer than segment diameter; cement gland tube half as long as segment diameter; propodus long, slender, with 2 major heel spines, 4 setae, and long lamina more than half sole length; claw long; auxiliaries tiny but distinct (Ref. 2115, p. 54).
