Stomachal dilatation gradual in VII–VIII. Ventral chaetae of II–V 4–5 per bundle, 90–98 Μm long, with nodulus slightly distal or median, from III on 2–5 per bundle, 82–88 Μm long, with nodulus distal. Distal tooth of all ventral chaetae 2–3 times as long as proximal. Dorsal chaetae beginning in VI, hairs 1–3 per bundle, 275–350 Μm long, needles ( Fig. 3 A) with two teeth about 4 Μm long, distal tooth slightly longer than proximal tooth. Penial chaetae ( Fig. 3 B; Fig. 3 C, ps) 5 per bundle, 102–110 Μm long, 4 Μm width, with a simple distal hook. Vas deferens ( Fig. 3 C, vd) short, wholly surrounded by abundant prostate gland ( Fig. 3 C, pr) cells, joining atria subapically. Atrial ampulla ( Fig. 3C, at) ovoid, with a thick wall. Spermathecae ( Fig. 3 C, sa) paired in V, pear-shaped, duct short, spermatozeugmata absent. Remarks . Cosmopolitan.
