Nearly all macrochaetae broken off, remaining ones middle length and short, thin, pointed apically. Axial suture well-developed. Legs long and slender. Leg pairs 1 and 2 typically reduced in size, with usual tarsal brushes. Other pregonopodal legs practically not enlarged. Starting from legs 3, pregonopodal legs with funnel-shaped tarsal papillae, their quantity gradually decrease toward end of body. Hindmost legs without tarsal papillae. Claws sabre-shaped. Claws of pregonopodal and postgonopodal legs, including legs 10 and 11, at base with two small additional claws dorsally only. Femora 3 and 4 with a mushroom-shaped protuberance. Legs 10 and 11 with coxal glands. Coxa 10 with a large bottle-shaped process (s) (Figs 59, 60). Prefemur 11 with a basal, digitiform, partly papillate process (d) (Fig. 61). Coxa 11 with a deepening covered with setae. Sternum 11 frontally with a longitudinal low roller. Anterior gonopods reduced, sternum with a median conical lobe (ml); coxites (cxi) of medium length, curved, hornlike (Fig. 64). Posterior gonopod colpocoxite with distal part divided into a long mesal branch (mb) (like a half tube) and a portion carrying a lateral blade (db) (Figs 62, 63, 68). The middle part of the colpocoxite with a longitudinal flat plate (lb) and a tongue-like process (tp) directed caudad; lateral edge of the colpocoxite flattened, bent back as a thin blade (tb) (Figs 62, 68). The colpocoxite basal part with a broom-like process (b) (Figs 62, 66, 68). Angiocoxite (a) convex, near pear-like on posterior face (Figs 62, 68). In frontal view the colpocoxite basally with a tongue-like blade (bl); angiocoxite (a) depressed centrally (Figs 65, 69). Posterior gonopod telopodites large. Female. Length in alcohol about 16 mm, width about 2.0 mm with paraterga. Coloration lighter than in male. Numerous macrochaetae broken off, remaining ones short, pointed apically, but not very sharply so.
