Diagnosis (adapted from that in Shelley [1996]). Transition to full number of dorsal carinae on segment 7. Gonosternum narrow, particularly mediad. Telopodal stem gently sinuate, distally broad and clavate, without division point, with long and variably broad prefemoral process angling across anterior face, narrowing subapically and tapering to acuminate tip. Distal processes arising (sub)apically on stem. Tibiotarsus moderately long, apically acuminate and directed laterad, a narrow projection arising from medial side of distal margin and overhanging solenomere branch. Latter short, arising from lateral margin and bending anteriomediad, divided into distal solenomere and slightly shorter and more proximal process ‘A.’

Species. One.

Distribution. Known only from Mission Viejo, Orange Co., California (Shelley 1996, 2002a; Hoffman 1999; Shelley et al. 2000; Stoev et al. 2008).
