Caudal process also mainly membranous, area of sclerotisation 235–280 µm long, 170–175 µm wide; dorsally, sclerotisation surrounded by a large clear area without dorsal pores or setae. Derm with 6 further clear areas: anterior, medio-dorsal and 1 above each stigmatic cleft; posterior abdominal clear areas apparently absent; each clear area with 1 or 2 dorsal setae. Dorsal setae rather variable in shape, mostly rather pointed but some shorter and more blunter; each about 3–5 µm long, subequal to or slightly longer than width of basal socket (basal socket about 3.5–4.5 µm wide); frequent throughout except scarce in clear areas. Dorsal pores: (i) loculate microducts of complex

Preopercular pores: about 20 pores present in a broad transverse band about 2–3 pores wide, extending along entire anterior margin of anal plates. Anal plates each 153–158 (145–190) µm long, combined width 125 µm; each with 2 or 3 long dorsal setae on posterior quarter of each plate, each 45–80 µm long, plus a shorter setose seta on apex, about 35 µm long. Anal tube short, subequal to length of anal plates or shorter; anal ring setae each about 130–135 µm long.

Marginal setae intermingled amongst roundly conical stigmatic setae which extend around most of margin; each marginal seta setose, 11–13 µm long; with 6–9 anteriorly between eyespots; 0–2 between eyespots and anterior stigmatic setae, 0 or 1 on each side between stigmatic clefts and about 12–17 on each side of abdomen, mainly along posterior margin where conical stigmatic setae mainly absent; margin also extending from venter along ventral surface of caudal process, each side with 6–11 marginal setae, mostly rather larger than elsewhere, up to 25 µm long; anal lobe setae apparently present on apex of caudal process, each 27–35 µm long. Stigmatic clefts quite deep, each with a group of stigmatic setae about 3–5 setae deep in each cleft but narrowing to 1–2 setae deep along most of rest of margin [

Eyespots rather small and inconspicuous, each about 17–20 µm wide.

Derm entirely membranous in young specimens. Pregenital disc-pores present around vulva and across preceding segment, and then with 1–3 medially and 5–13 associated with anogenital fold in segment V plus 1 medially in IV; none on thorax. Spiracular disc-pores in broad bands about as wide as peritreme; with none more medially. Ventral microducts absent medially on abdominal segments V–VII. Ventral tubular ducts, each with a short bulbous inner ductule, present in a sparse group of 10–24 anterior to antennae and in a very sparse submarginal band (1 or 2 laterally on head, 1–8 on thorax and several laterally on abdomen); most abundant posteriorly associated with anogenital fold where frequent (probably at least 10–14 on each side); absent medially. Submarginal setae much more frequent than marginal setae.
