The diagnostic characters are: distomedian lobes of petasma broadly triangular with apices barely projecting beyond anterior margin of distolateral projections ; anterior plate of thelycum tongue-like with raised parallel lateral margins, lateral plates of Uielycum flat, bounded posteriorly by two transverse protuberances bearing tufts of setae. |
