Tentacula 4 brevia, subulata, in apice truncato lobi cephalici affixa, bina utrinque alter super alterum. Oculi duo conspicui, mediocres. Cirri tentaculares duo inaequales, subulati, in segmento primo affixi. Proboscis exserta, longa, subcylindrica, antrorsum incrassata, versus apicem papillis numerosis, ovato-fusiformibus brevibus, utrinque in ordine longitudinali dispositis, ornata. Setae capillares compositae, articulo terminali longe attenuato leviter curvato, margine concavo subtilissime denticulato. Appendix superior mediocris lamellaeformis, subverticalis, extrorsum porrecta. Appendix inferior compressa ovalis. Pars setigera pedis apice rotundato leviter inciso. Cirri duo anales."
