Carapace, mesosoma, metasoma, telson, and pedipalp femur and patella of adults densely granulated. First and second metasomal segments bear 10 carinae, third bears 8 or 10 carinae. Fifth metasomal segment length/width ratio less than 2.4. All metasomal segments sparsely setose and densely granulated. Telson with very small subaculear tubercle. Pectinal teeth number 16–22. Seventh sternite bears 4 well developed carinae. Telson elongate, with aculeus aproximately as long as vesicle.
