Remarks.

Upon examining the holotype, we noticed some morphological characteristics that were omitted in the original description: a) the presence of palpodes on the anterior end of the prostomium, and b) the structure described as the pygidium is, in fact, the rupture of an abdominal segment. The rest of the description agrees well with the features of the type material
