I've keyed this out in Arnett (1).

- Claws appendiculate and separate.
- Hind tibia simple without indentations.
- Pygidium without any central groove.
- All femurs without protrusions or spines.
- Eye not emarginate, and not round.
- Anterior margin of proepisternum not arcuate (just behind eye).
