Adult female elliptical, 3.0–3.7 mm long, 2.3–2.6 mm wide. Body light brown, yellowish at anterior margin. Dorsal surface with simple multilocular pores (11–12 µm diameter, bilocular or trilocular centre) forming a medial longitudinal row on head and thorax. Longest setae form a submedial longitudinal row on dorsum, with marginal clusters on each segment and between antennae. Ovisac band present, composed of flagellate setae (90–120 µm long, with very round bases) and two types of multilocular pores: inner band pores (10–11 µm, bilocular/trilocular centre, 6–12 outer loculi) 7–9 pores wide, outer band pores (9–10 µm, bilocular/trilocular centre, 3–8 outer loculi) 3–4 pores wide, appearing slightly bluish when stained. Ventromedial to submedial head and thorax with multilocular pores (11–12 µm, bilocular/trilocular centre, 4–5 outer loculi). Medial to submedial abdomen with simple multilocular pores (12–13 µm, bilocular centre, 4–8 outer loculi), similar to vulvar pores and slightly bluish when stained.
