Diagnosis
Length: 4–7 mm. Without dark subcutaneous pigment. Cephalic plate without sutures. Tergite paramedian sutures complete from 3. Anterior margin of forcipular coxosternite slightly concave or straight with 2 or 3 fine setae on or almost on anterior margin. (Fig. 24). Poison gland calyx with very few gland cells, situated in anterior part of forcipular trochanteroprefemur (Fig. 25). Sternite almost semicircular (Fig. 26). Pore field occupying 50% of coxopleuron and with 5 or 6 pores. Ultimate leg with 3 tibial and 2 tarsal saw teeth. Pretarsi of legs 1–20 with a single long accessory spur. (Fig. 27).
