Forebody about 1/4–1/3 length of body, attenuate, at times slender. Hindbody either broadens to junction of second and third 1/3 of body or possesses nearly parallel margins before it attenuates to bluntly-rounded or tapered posterior extremity. Tegument aspinose. Pre-oral lobe not observed. Oral sucker subterminal, subspherical to circular to transversely oval, unspecialized. Ventral sucker large, muscular, round to subspherical to oval to transversely oval, unspecialized, sessile to slightly elevated and protuberant, conspicuous border around perimeter, wider than long and almost as wide as entire worm at that level, larger than oral sucker, pre-equatorial at junction of first and second 1/4–1/3 of body.

Pharyngeal gland cells proximate to pharynx and anterior esophagus, dark-staining.

Seminal vesicle internal, bi-partite; proximal portion overlapped by ventral sucker, large, saccate, occupies majority of proximal portion of cirrus pouch and can be seen to loop back on itself anteriorly-posteriorly before it passes anterior; distal portion thick-walled, narrow and sinuous, runs anteri- orly from proximal portion and anterior to ventral sucker before it turns anterosinistrally – sometimes quite sharply – and terminates.

Metraterm inconspicuous, thick-walled as it enters genital atrium. Eggs large, collapsed and/or crenulated, operculate, amber, non-filamented, relatively few in number, with nib on one pole; many eggs bloated in proximal uterus (i.e. spherical-shaped); in several specimens eggs present only in proximal uterus with none observed in distal region.

, some intra-specific variation in morphological features was observed. One specimen had a sub-quadrate-shaped instead of round to oval pharynx. Most specimens possessed testes that were oval to irregular to oblong in shape, transversely elongate, and smooth to slightly indented to lobed in texture; however, one specimen had an anterior testis that was compressed on the right side, two specimens possessed either a sub-triangular or circular-shaped posterior testis and a fourth specimen contained a conspicuous, posteriorly-directed lobe on the posterior testis. The genital pore was observed at the level of the posterior end of the lower esophagus, but in one specimen, it was at mid-esophagus level (see

We noted the vitelline follicles rarely to have a sub-rectangular shape as opposed to a circular to sub-circular to elongate oval to irregular shape, and while the anterior extent of the vitelline fields was to the level of the posterior margin of the ventral sucker in the majority of specimens observed, we noted three individuals with variability in this feature. The left lateral band of vitelline follicles fell short of the ventral sucker by 96 μm in one specimen, the right lateral band of follicles extended anterior to the ventral sucker in a second specimen, and there was a cluster of vitelline follicles anterodextral to the ventral sucker between the esophagus and right body margin in another worm. One specimen had confluent vitelline fields in the pre-ovarian region and another possessed a vitelline reservoir directly ventral to the seminal receptacle and not directly anterior to or dorsally overlapping the anterior margin of the ovary.
