Material. 5 specimens. TL, 143–150 µm; FL, 17 µm; AL, 10 µm; PhL, 33–37 µm; MD, 4 µm; DC, 27–33; DR, 30; TS, 5 x 1–2 µm; VTS, 4.5 x 2.5 µm. Mid sized species with rounded to five-lobed head, characterized by two large ocellar granules. Two pairs of dorsal sensory bristles, posterior pair anchored by double keeled scales. Dorsal body surface covered by elongated elliptical keeled scales without spines. Scales are ordered parallel to the body outline except for the median column which is more or less straight.
