Dorsal wall of trunk-armour embayed anteriorly to accommodate head;

Abdomen: Oblong, rounded at posterior; thick
tergal plates, darkly pigmented; chaetotaxy scares specially in female characteristic; male terminalia deeply convex and medially concave in females; well developed subgenital plate having versatile arrangement of setae; genital opening dorsal in position.

tergal setae and two submedial
tergal setae are on sternites 1-9.
In the Chinese female, the body is more nearly circular; the maxilliped's palp does not articulate, and its spur is much reduced; the first oostegite has a slightly more slender and longer posterolateral point, which is setose along its lateral margin; the posterior pereomeres bear
tergal plates distinctly separated from the segments; and the lateral plates of the pleomeres are quite sharply pointed.
Segments 1-5 strongly sclerotized dorsally, anterotransverse carinae distinct, each prescutum with an additional anterior carina, numerous small sensilla with four longer hair-like sensilla, spiracles near each anterolateral
tergal margin; AB6 strongly sclerotized dorsally, laterally, and ventrolateral; ventral membranous area narrow, spiracles opening laterally at or near the dorso-pleural line distant from obscure lateral margin of turgum, carinae and chaetotaxy as on segments 1-5; segment 7 completely sclerotized.
