Length 31 mm (holotype) or 31.5 mm (♂), width of midbody pro- and metazona 2.4 and 3.2 mm (holotype) or 2.3 and 3.4 mm (♂), respectively. Coloration of live animals and alcohol material uniformly blackish-brown (Fig. 13A–G); calluses of paraterga a little lighter, brown; antennomeres 1–5 light brown to yellowish, legs and venter light brown to grey-yellowish (Fig. 13A–G).
All characters as inTylopus bispinosussp. n., except as follows.
Antennae rather short and slender, reaching behind segment 3 dorsally. In width, head = segment 3 < collum < segments 2 and 4 < 5–16; thereafter body gradually and gently tapering towards telson (Fig. 1B).
Paraterga on collum like large rounded flaps (Fig. 13B, C). Following paraterga lying at about 1/3 midbody height, evidently declined ventrolaterally, subhorizontal only on a few posteriormost segments, mostly pointed caudally, subrectangular until segment 15, thereafter increasingly well protruding behind rear tergal contour (Fig. 13A–G). Metaterga with 2(3)+2(3) and 3–5+3–5 long setae arranged in two transverse rows. Axial line present on both halves of metaterga. Transverse sulcus present on segments 5–18, very finely beaded at bottom (Fig. 13B, F, G). Stricture between pro- and metazona finely striolate (Fig. 13B, D). Epiproct tip broad and emarginate (Fig. 13G, H). Hypoproct semi-circular, both caudal setae widely separated (Fig. 13H). Pleurosternal carinae as complete ridges on segments 2–4, thereafter retained until segment 17 mostly as a small caudal tooth (Fig. 13C–F).
A low, only slightly divided, setose lobe between coxae 4 (Fig. 13I, J). Legs relatively short, ca 1.6–1.7 times as long as midbody height (Fig. 13K). Femora evidently bulged laterally (Fig. 13K); all postgonopodal legs except two last pairs with an evident adenostyle in parabasal 1/3 of each postfemur and tibia; tarsal brushes missing; all telopoditomeres except tarsi with dense adpressed pilosity (Fig. 13K).
Gonopods (Figs 14, 15) with lobelwell-demarcated; spinehsmall, but elongate, not bifid; spinezvery small, dentiform, placed at base of spineh.
