Description of holotype. (Haase’s (1887) data in parentheses where appropriate). Length approximately 38 mm (40 mm, in shape similar to Cryptop s). (Light brown, the last 10 tergites, except tergite of ultimate leg-bearing segment, darker). Antennal articles 5 [d] + 9 [d], the basal 4 and 5 with scattered setae dorsally, the basal 3 ventrally (no data on antennae). The posterior margin of the cephalic plate overlapped by tergite 1 (Fig. 27). Forcipular coxosternal tooth-plates longer than wide with 4 + 4 teeth (Fig. 28). Forcipular trochanteroprefemoral process with two small medial denticles. Coxosternite with a median longitudinal suture occupying its anterior 25 %. Tergites (with clearly visible dorsal vessel?) with complete paramedian sutures from 6 – 20 marginate from 14 (17), without keels, corrugations or spines (wrinkled laterally). Tergite of ultimate leg-bearing segment with slight median posterior depression. Sternites longer than wide with more or less complete paramedian sutures in sulci from 2 – 17 and a median longitudinal depression from 3 – 13 (Fig. 29), small round lateral and a small round posterior median depressions visible by reflected light from some angles. Sternite of ultimate leg-bearing segment with sides converging posteriorly, corners rounded, posterior margin more or less straight with a very weak median longitudinal depression (almost semi circular ... weakly impressed). Coxopleural process (Figs 30 & 31) short with two apical spines, without lateral or dorsal spines. Pore-field narrow, not expanded anteriorly about five pores in width. NB some pores covered by sternite of ultimate legbearing segment. Majority of legs wanting. 1 & 2 on left without femoral, tibial or tarsal spurs, 6, 10, 11 15, 16 and 17 on right with one tarsal spur, 7, 8, 13 14 on left with, 6 and 15 without (no data). Appears that a tarsal spur is present on most legs, at least to 18. Ultimate legs missing.
