Based on 20 fully gravid-specimens. Body robust, elongate, somewhat dorso-ventrally flattened, broadest in posterior third, 2,916–5,346 (4,131) in length, 778–1,408 (1,093) in maximum width at its posterior third. Ventral surface anterior to intestinal bifurcation greatly modified, forming a well-developed, relatively deep pouch or an accessory attachment structure encircling the genital pore, 273–481 × 238–408 (377 × 323), representing about 10% of the body length. Tegument armed with fine spines dorsally and ventrally. Eye-spot pigment absent. Ventral sucker absent. Pharynx relatively small, sub-terminal, globular, 178–304 × 142–238 (241 × 190); oral opening antero-ventral. Esophagus relatively long, narrow, without muscular bulb, 395–705 (550) in length. Intestinal bifurcation at the end of anterior fifth of body; caeca simple, wide, extend to near anterior border of anterior testis. Testes 2, relatively large, post-caecal, constantly diagonal, entire, oval, contiguous, near posterior extremity, sub-equal, 481–851 × 361–631 (666 × 496). Seminal vesicle tubular, narrow, sinuous, ends as narrow ejaculatory duct; pars prostatica apparently absent.
