Gnathosoma. Pedipalps 3-segmented. Femurogenua at least twice as long as wide and complemented with 5 setae. Tibiotarsi at least twice as long as wide and usually complemented with 6 setae. A small apophysis present basally and a pointed process present near the terminal tip; a ridge present between the apophysis and pointed process. Subcapitulum with 6 pairs of setae (hg1–4 and 2 pairs of adoral setae) are present; setae hg4 longest. Chelicera without seta. Idiosoma, dorsal. Proterosoma bears an ill-defined and weakly sclerotized shield which is complemented with 2 pairs of setae (lps and mps) and 2 pairs of setose sensillae (at and pt). The dorsal hysterosoma may or may not bear a plate; if a plate is present it is ill-defined and weakly sclerotized, may be complemented with a variable number of setae, and may or may not be fused with the proterosomal shield. Setae c1–h1, c2, and h2 are present. Cupule im present laterad and posterior of e1. Integument that is not covered in shields or plates is striated. Idiosoma, ventral. Coxae weakly sclerotized and ill-defined; they can be recognized by possessing somewhat denser striations than the surrounding integument. Coxae I–II may be fused and may coalesce medially to form a sternal shield. Coxae III–IV may be fused. Each coxa is complemented with 2-4 setae. Genital plates each bear 4 setae (g1–4); 2 pairs of genital papillae visible underneath the plates. Anal plates bear one pair of setae; one pair of setae present ventrally on the integument near the anal plates. Up to 7 pairs of setae present on the integument between the coxal and genital plates. Cupule ih present ventrally laterad the integumental setae associated with the anal plates. Integument that is not covered in shields or plates is striated. Legs. Tarsi never constricted apically so as to end in lobes. Trichobothrium present on leg tibia IV. Ambulacral claws are rippled and occur on either side of a 4-rayed empodium.
