Length ca 31 mm, max. width 5.7 mm. COLOUR. After 10 years in alcohol head medium brown, collum and dorsal side of body rings dark; paranota 2, 3, 5, 7, 9–10, 12–13 and 15–19 contrastingly whitish, paranota 4, 6 and 8 of a slightly lighter hue than main part of dorsum, sides of body rings medium brown; telson light brown, epiproct whitish; antennae and venter light brown; legs whitish brown. COLLUM. With pair of setae close to anterior margin. BODY RINGS. Metazonites 1.4× as broad as prozonites, apparently without setae; with a prominent transverse sulcus on rings 5–17. Granulation irregular, but with a tendency to longitudinal striolation behind sulcus. Paranota from ring with 7 posterior corners projecting slightly backwards, first as rounded lobes, further back more triangular.

Coxa (cx) with a strong conical apical process (cxp), one long seta (as) on anterior surface basal to process, a field of setae (ls) on lateral surface. Prefemoral part (prf) ca 2 × as long as broad. Prefemoral process (prp) closely appressed to and distally curving over solenomere. Solenomere (slm) long, slender, taeniate, pointed. Parasolenomere (ps) much shorter than solenomere, thin, straight, pointed, with small needlelike side branch (nb) basally. Distribution and habitat Known only from one site in the Udzungwa Mountains National Park (Fig. 1). Collected in a pitfall trap at 1482 m a.s.l.
