Notopodia from segment 4, continuing for 21 segments; notosetae narrow-winged capillaries, with serrations along one margin, some appearing flail-tipped. Neuropodia beginning on segment 5 (setiger 2) and continuing to pygidium; uncini of anterior thoracic segments typically with posteriorly elongated bases, following uncini lacking elongated bases.
