Body 1.22–1.53 mm long, broadest near posterior end of prosoma, that is, fused head and prothorax (0.82–1.01 mm); body outline roughly turbinate (head and thorax broad, abdomen tapering caudally), incised between pro- and mesothorax, each pre-pygidial abdominal segment with membranous tooth on margin, each tooth with seta at base.
