Description of syntypes. (Data from Kraepelin’s (1903) redescription in parentheses). Length 60 – 63 (70) mm. Antennae (long) of 17 articles, the basal 2.25 – 2.33 glabrous dorsally. Forcipular coxosternal teeth 4 + 4 (Fig. 50) or 4 + 3. Specimen 2 has, atypically, 6 + 4 (Fig. 51) (4 + 4 large teeth). Tergites with complete paramedian sutures from 5 or 6 (5), marginate from 7 or 8 (7) with or without weak lateral corrugations and without spinules. Ultimate tergite a little longer than wide. Sternites without paramedian sutures but with three weak obscure depressions, or only one, or none (two weak lateral depressions in middle of sternite and one small median at hind margin). Sternite of ultimate leg-bearing segment ratio of length to width: 1.17: 1 to 1.3: 1 (1 ½ times as long as wide) with sides converging and posterior margin slightly concave (Fig. 52) or straight (Fig. 53) (posterior corners almost rectangular). Coxopleural process moderately long with two apical and one lateral spine. No dorsal spine. Two tarsal spurs on first four or five pairs of legs (only one or two with two tarsal spurs), the remainder to 20 with one, 21 without. Ultimate leg prefemoral spines VL 3, VM 2, DM 0 or 1, CS 0 (VL 3, VM 2 - 3, M 0 – 1, DM 0 or with minute spine, CS 0). Typically five spines in two rows in normal legs. Regenerated legs show higher numbers.
