Body: Length, up to 0.8 mm (0.031 in). Antennae one-third as long again as head, the four segments related as 35 :100:145 :62; segments II and III (particularly the latter) with swellings and protuberances and sparsely clothed with stout simple setae; Ant. II with either a single or a pair of short exposed sense rods at one-third from base, a larger central sense rod with, usually, a pair of shorter ones and either a single or a pair of moderately long, straight, sub-apical sense rods; Ant. IIT sub-apically with a pair of long, curved, exposed sense rods and having each protuberance bearing a small sense rod; Ant. IV clothed with numerous long curved setae and supplied with a small apical finger and 9-10 short straight sense rods. Ocelli eight to each side, the central one very small.
Legs: Claw finely granulate without tunica and without inner tooth but with a pair of strong outer teeth at four-fifths down; unguiculus two-thirds to three-quarters as long as claw, with narrow outer lamella and broad angular inner lamella bearing a prominent spine at angle, the apical bristle filamentous on fore and middle feet much over-reaching tip of claw, short and bristle-like on hind feet but still over-reaching claw tip; a short basal seta to each side of claw.
