- Systematics: Ferris & Rao (1947) state that the original description and figure make it impossible to recognize this species.

Adult female broadest across median abdominal segments, margins of which are produced into broadly rounded lobes. Median lobes large and prominent, closely approximated, minutely serrate or crenulate on free edge, together forming a semi-circle (Green, 1908a).
