Female (PBI_OON 14796). As in male except as noted. CEPHALOTHORAX: Carapace broadly oval in dorsal view; non-marginal pars cephalica setae dark, needle-like, present in one row; non-marginal pars thoracica setae dark, needle-like. Labium . Endites distally not excavated, anteromedian tip unmodified. Female palp claws absent; spines absent; tarsus unmodified. ABDOMEN: dorsum soft portions light grey. Epigastric scutum without lateral joints. Colulus absent. LEGS: Leg spination (only surfaces bearing spines listed, all spines longer than segment width): (leg I: femur: d0-1-1-1-0, pv0-0-1-1-0, tibia: v2-2-2-2-2-0, metatarsus: 2-2-2-2, leg II: femur: d0-1-0-1-0, pv0-0-1-1-0, tibia: v2-2-2-2-2-0, metatarsus: 2-2-2-2, leg III: femur: d0-1-1, tibia: d0-1-0, r0-1-0, p1-1, v2-2; metatarsus: d0-2-2, v1-1, leg IV: femur: d0-1-1-0-1-0, tibia: d0-1-0, p1-0-1, r1-0-1, v0-1-2; metatarsus: v0-1-2, p1-1, d0-0-1, r1-1. ). Tarsi I to IV superior claws tooth not examined in detail. Trichobothria not examined. GENITALIA: Shape: the genital opening connects to the uterus externus, from which two elements emerge: one anterior receptaculum and a posterior plate, with an anterior concavity. The long anterior receptacle have accesory glands and a set of muscles attached anteroventrally, some of them presumably to the ventral cuticle, and one pair to the lateral projections of a sclerotised posterior plate. The anterior part of the posterior plate have an U-shaped margin.. Dorsal view: anterior receptaculum elongated, with accesory glands in most length of the "stalk", that ends in a widened transverse sector. There is no evident any locking mechanism, only a longitudinal, not sclerotised opening between both receptacles..
