Ocular tubercle rounded closely and irregularly covered with papillae ; anterior margin of carapace closely beset with long papillae of which the middle is the largest. Surface of carapace and scute together with the free tergites closely and irregularly covered with papillae, of which a median pair of blunt conical tubercles is outstand- ing on areas I-IV, a transverse row of 9-11 similar tubercles on the posterior margin of scute ( = area lY) and free tergites of abdomen. Free sternites of abdomen irregularly granular, surfaces of coxae I-IY thickly covered with papillae, which on the anterior margin of coxa I, at the posterior apex of coxa II, and the anterior apex of coxa IV are stouter than in the remaining surfaces of the coxae. Cheli- cerae with both seg- ments granular, segment I in addition armed dorsally with 1 tooth. Palps thickly covered with papillae, of which only the inner side of the femur and the lower sides of patella, tibia, and tarsus remain free ; trochanter below with 1 tooth, femur below with 2 (1 basal, 1 middle), apically on the inner side with 1, above with a longitudinal row of 5 teeth ; patella below on the inner side with 2 teeth ; tibia and tarsus on each side below with 3 teeth. Legs as far as tibiae thickly covered with papillae, trochanters in addi- tion posteriorly and anteriorly with 1-2 teeth, femur with a longi- tudinal row of teeth both below and above. Tarsal segments 3 : 7-8 : 4 : 4 (juvenile 2:2:3:3); terminal section of tarsus I consisting of 2, tarsus II of 3 segments. Colour of body and appendages a dirty dark brown.
