Specimens examined. (N = 1) [ Nepal] 1♂ ( MHJ), W Daran, 31. VII. 2005, M. Hori leg.

Description. Internal sac everted dorso-apically in lateral view. VA largest in the bladders; DA the second same as large as BLR; B same as large as VLR, DLL. VLL exist and VB not exist.

VA long and cylindrically swollen, everted dorso-apically. VLR slightly swollen left laterally. DA everted dorso-basally. DLL swollen base of DA to basal 1/2 of VA, covered numerously with well sclerotized spines, which are forming a band. BLR oval and widely swollen left laterally, vested numerously with well sclerotized spines, which are forming bands. B slightly roundly well swollen, everted right laterally, numerously with well sclerotized spines, which are forming short bands on above and below B. VLL oval and roundly swollen, with well sclerotized spines, which are forming bands. Flagellum relatively short, curved and formed S-shaped. Medial tooth elongate, tapered, straight extending apically.

Remarks. This species shares the characteristics of the position of each bladder with Calochroa carissima but is distinguished by the following characteristics: VA long and cylindrically swollen dorso-apically; B roundly swollen, vested with spines forming a band.
