Small worm with faint traces of a left wing from posterior XX to anterior XXIV and a right wing in segment XXI. No wing for the other specimen. Genital papillae, male pores, female pores, and spermathecal pores not visible. Preserved specimens pale fleshy.

Gizzard in VIII. Intestine enlarged from XVI. Slender, paired lateral longitudinal blood vessels extending over segments anterior to the first heart, visible from outside. Large blood vessels begin from segment IX. Hearts IX-XI. Nephridia holoic. Seminal vesicles vestigial in IX and XII, yellowish white, not visible in X and XI.
