Antennae small, 1-segmented, with several setae. Eyes and legs absent. Spiracles in two pairs; each with large and nearly circular and heavy sclerotized peritrema, covered by numerous quinquelocular pores. Posterior end of body heavily sclerotized on both surfaces even in very young females, abruptly narrowed and acutely pointed, ridged. Anal cleft short, about the same length as anal plate. Form of anal plate shown on the enlargement of Fig. 1. In general, the structure of anal complex is poorly visible because of heavy sclerotization of anal region of body, but it looks like anal complex in other species of the genus. Tubular ducts of 3 sizes: large tubular ducts about 18 µm long; medium-sized ducts about 10 µm long; and microtubular ducts about 7–8 µm long. All 3 types of ducts form ventral submarginal band as shown in Fig. 1. Microtubular ducts form also a group near labium. Quinquelocular pores form small groups near spiracles (with about 10–20 pores in each group). Dorsal invaginated setae (about 12–15 µm long) arranged along submarginal area of abdomen. http://www.pensoft.net/journals/compcytogen/article/4320/abstract/ en 2.5 Expert users; General public http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ I.A.
