Derm membranous, with fine and dense spicules especially on the pygidium and posterior prepygidial segments; median region of the ventrum between the mouth-parts and the base of the pygidium with delicate scaly granulations in a narrow, segmentally interrupted, longitudinal band, and with microducts scattered among the granulations (Takagi, 1969a).
