The females are described and illustrated. The females of this new species are distinguished from other species of thegenus by presenting the setae of the dorsal shield, broad and robust; with conspicuous sternal glands with granular ornamentation; anal shield subtriangular, with anterior margin curved and trilobulated, and with two intermediate concavities, and not interrupted by perianal zone; adanal setae stout and long, and postanal seta stouter and much longer, which looks like a trident. Additionally, an updated key of the twelve known species of the genus π‘ƒπ‘Žπ‘Ÿπ‘–π‘β„Žπ‘œπ‘Ÿπ‘œπ‘›π‘¦π‘ π‘ π‘’π‘  Β is included.
