• Structure: Adult female elongate oval, 1.632 mm long and 0.803 mm wide. Antenna 6 segmented. There is one sensory pore on the 2nd segment of the antenna and the 3rd segment is almost parallel sided. On apical segment three sensory falcate setae are found. On the two preapical segments, falcate sensory setae are present. The segments of the antenna are covered with few hairlike setae. Frontal lobe present. Eye visible, situated on venter. Venter: Labium two-segmented, basal segment with two pairs of setae. Stylet loop reaches the posterior coxae. Legs long, claw digitules slightly knobbed. Coxae ithout spinulae, posterior coxae, small number of translucent pores. Trochanter with two pores on each side. Legs with few hairlike setae and with one sensory pore on tarsus.
