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
