Structure: Adult female tests thin, but not transparent, irregular in outline. Body of vitis-type, pygidium broadly triangular in outline. Interantennal tubercle and derm pockets sometimes present, but tending to be rudimentary. Anterior spiracles each accompanied by 2-7 disc pores; posterior spiracles with no disc pores. Perivulvar disc pores 2-10 in median, 15-22 in each anterolateral and 9-15 in each posterolateral group.
