My specimens fit the description of this species ( Ramazzotti and Maucci 1983; Dastych 1988; McInnes 1995). Cuticle smooth. Colourless. Eyes present. Buccal tube rather wide. Pharynx with three macroplacoids of about equal length and a large microplacoid. Double claws of hufelandi type. This species is a new record for China. Its type locality is in Southern Orkney, UK.
