1. Habitus
   Body colourless/slightly yellow (also after preparation). Eyes were present in 75% of the examined specimens mounted in Hoyer medium.

2. Cuticle
   Dorso-lateral cuticle, including outer portions of legs IV, covered with a faint reticular pattern. The reticulum with irregular ridges, mesh diameter 1.4-3.1 µm. Ventral cuticle smooth (i.e. without sculpturing).

3. Buccal apparatus
   Bucco-pharyngeal apparatus of the Isohypsibius type. Mouth antero-ventral. Peribuccal lamellae absent. Buccal tube without the ventral lamina. Oral cavity armature with a single weakly visible ventral and dorsal band of small round teeth in the posterior portion of the oral cavity.  Pharyngeal bulb with apophyses and three rod-shaped macroplacoids, all without constrictions. Macroplacoid length sequence 1<2<3, microplacoid and septulum absent.

4. Legs and claws
   Claws of the Isohypsibius type, similar in shape and size on all legs, sometimes with a very wide basal part. All primary branches with accessory points, but on claws I-III are weakly developed. Small smooth lunules present on legs (sometimes very hard to observe, especially on internal claws). Cuticular bars near the bases of claws I–III present.

5. Eggs
   Smooth, deposited in exuvium.

6. Remarks
   Lunules may be hard to identify in some specimens.
