Slide-mounted adult female pyriform; prosoma highly sclerotized at maturity. Anterior and posterior spiracles without associated disc pores. Pygidium with 1 pair of lobes: L1 well developed, slightly convergent, each lobe with 1 notch on outer margin. Second lobe (L2) absent, or represented by a small prominence. Plates completely absent.
