Description (after Mueller & Van Cleave 1932, Jilek & Crites 1982a, and Christian 1972). With characteristics of the genus. “Head” region without spines. Four cephalic papillae present. Two amphids each with two pore-like openings situated laterally on pseudolabia ( Fig. 66 View FIGURE 66 A). Deirids between 1st and 2nd spine rows. 15 to 20 sharp spines present per row; spines <0.015 long. Anterior rows of spines arranged in 4 sectors. Spines absent over lateral lines, and decreasing in number and size posteriorly. Buccal cavity relatively long, straight and thin-walled. Muscular oesophagus begins at level of 2nd row of spines, and is about half the width of the glandular oesophagus ( Fig. 66 View FIGURE 66 B).
Males: Body slender 3.31 (2.78–3.45) long, 0.098 (0.087–0.106) wide. Nerve ring 0.145 (0.133–0.151), and excretory pore 0.202 (0.187–0.221) from anterior end. Excretory pore between the 8th and 9th spine rows. Muscular oesophagus 0.172–0.266 long [mean length not given]. Glandular oesophagus 1.403 (1.201–1.497) long. Narrow
caudal alae. Four pairs pre-cloacal and five pairs post-cloacal pedunculate papillae present ( Fig. 66 View FIGURE 66 C). Right
spicule short, proximally expanded, distal tip with large ventral barb [length not reported]. Left spicule long,
slender, evenly curved with tail, divided into shaft and flanged blade [length not reported]. Area rugosa present. Females: Body slender 5.13 (4.35–5.70) long, 0.110 (0.105–0.114) wide. Nerve ring 0.152 (0.140–0.156) and
excretory pore 0.212 (0.203–0.221) from anterior end. Muscular oesophagus 0.194 (0.168–0.235) long, and
glandular oesophagus 1.590 (1.437–1.702) long. Vulva located just posterior to middle of body. Ovijector well
developed. Vagina directed posteriorly ( Fig. 66 View FIGURE 66 D). Amphidelphic. Eggs thick-shelled. Tail with heart-shaped
mucron.
