Systematics: This species departs from all its congeners in the shape of the median lobes which are regularly crenate, and is the only species in which supplementary pores anterior to the normal perivulvar pores, may be found (Munting, 1967).
Structure: Cover of adult female elongate, convex and broadened posteriorly. Exuviae orange, covered by a thin film of white secretionary matter. Secretionary appendix white. The entire cover has so much extraneous matter incorporated in it that it cannot be distinguished from the background on which it rests. Male cover white, small elongate with golden exuviae; no longitudinal carinae present (Hall, 1943).
General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Hall (1943).
