Parameres slender, elongated distally (Fig. 67); only pst 1 visible in specimen, as in Figure 67. Measurements (n = 1): TL = 1.40; HL = 0.34; HW = 0.25; PRW = 0.16; PTW = 0.23; AW = 0.31. Female. Thoracic and abdominal chaetotaxy as in Figure 63; holotype has 5 mms on one side and 7 mms on the other; we have here illustrated only 5, as this is the normal amount in Brueelia and the number found in the examined non-type females. Female subgenital plate is almost completely translucent and exact limits very hard to ascertain; apparently broadly pentagonal, with connection to cross-piece moderate in width (Fig. 68). Vulval margin rounded, with slight bulge in median section; 3 or 4 short, slender vms and 3 or 4 short, thorn-like vss on each side; 3 short, slender vos on each side of subgenital plate; distal 1 vos median to or only slightly anterior to vss.

Head chaetotaxy as in Figure 78. Preantennal nodi bulging. Pre- and postocular nodi of roughly equal size. Marginal temporal carina of moderate width, median margin undulating slightly. Gular plate not visible in examined material, and not illustrat ed. Thoracic and abdominal segments as in Figures 76 and 77. Pigmentation artificially altered, and true pigmentation patterns unknown.

Holotype with 5 mms on one side, and 7 mms on the other; we here illustrated only 5, which is the typical number in Guimaraesiella. Tergopleurite VI without post-spiracular setae in holotype, but this is likely an anomaly as these setae occur in all other Guimaraesiella; ss on tergopleurite VIII only present on one side. Subgenital plate not clear in specimen, seemingly wide anteriorly (Fig. 82); distal shape unknown.
