Systematics: The remarkable unguliform processes on lateral margins of abdominal segments sufficiently distinguish this from allied species (Green, 1905).
Structure: Female scale dark reddish-brown, margin and exuviae paler. Elongate, narrow, usually sinuous, median area moderately convex, margins flattened; surface dull, obscurely transversely corrugated, 2.0-3.0 mm long, 0.8-1.0 mm wide. Male scale smaller, dark brown, with a pale transverse band towards the hind extremity. Adult female elongate, broadest across abdominal area; the cephalothoracic area occupying fully two-thirds of the total length. Margins of the 4 abdominal segments strongly produced and armed with claw-like processes, 0.75-1.0 mm long and 0.40 mm wide (Green, 1905).
General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Green (1905).
