Description:
In females, the cephalosome is clearly separate from the pedigerous somite 1, and the prosome is twice as long as the urosome. The prosome extends to the distal margin of the genital somite, which in turn overlaps with the dorsal margin of the anal somite. The anal somite is slightly wider at the proximal margin compared to the distal margin, and the caudal rami is approximately 0.5 to 0.8 times as long as the rest of the urosome and 6 times as long as its width.In contrast, males exhibit different features. Their cephalosome is fused with pedigerous somite 1. The prosome points extend only to the middle of the genital somite, and the genital somite is 1.5 times as long as it is wide. The anal somite in males is wider at the proximal margin compared to the distal margin, and it is approximately 2 times as long as it is wide at the distal margin. The caudal rami in males are nearly as long as the genital somite and are 8 times as long as they are wide.
