Taxonomy:
Larger cephalic & posterior four abdominal compound pores (about 40 μm in diameter) with an inner annulus (ring) of _ simple facets from which arise about _ rod shaped splines and an outer annulus of 14-15 facets. Smaller anterior two abdominal pores
First reduced pair of abdominal compound pores closer to the midline. Anterior two pairs of abdominal compound pores (15-20 μm in diameter) each with 2-5 associated simple discoidal pores; The other larger posterior compound pores each with one associated disc pore including the pore between the last abdominal posterior compound pore and the vasiform orifice.
14 pairs of submarginal setae with the first three anterior setae somewhat equidistant. The other setae interrupted from the first three by a distance longer than the distance between the first three setae; the caudal pair of setae longer than other submarginal setae.
