Characters (from DaSilva & Kury 2007): Dense granulation on whole body, camouflage of dirt, strong apophyses on anterior margin of dorsal scute, single opening of scent glands. Sexual dimorphism of leg IV present or absent. Sexual dimorphism of basitarsus I present or absent. Mesotergum with 3 or 4 areas separated by transverse grooves.
