), with 12–13 scales in central row. Scales strongly differ morphologically in various body areas. Nine significantly larger scales on dorsal trunk area with very long, thick spines with a strong lateral denticle. Two pairs of posteriormost trunk lateral scales with long, thick spines with strong lateral denticle. Remaining scales with simple, shorter and thinner spines, or with rudimentary spines, or without spines on central dorsal trunk area and on furcal appendages. Scales with parafurcal spines absent. Spines on ventral surface hair-like, with narrow, delicate lamellae along entire length. Entire ventral interciliary field covered with small scales. Four pairs of ventral interciliary field terminal scales. Pharynx wide, with pronounced anterior and posterior dilatations. Intestine straight without anterior section differing in form and morphology.

The anteriormost cilium in both anterior tufts is fairly short. The second cilium is short, shorter than the anteriormost one. The third cilium is longer than either of the preceding cilia. The fourth, last cilium in the anterior tufts is very long, the longest in both pairs of tufts. The posterior tufts (at U6–U7) have four straight cilia each and emerge on the ventral head surface, above the anterior edge of the hypopleurae. The length of the cilia in the posterior tuft gradually increases from the anteriormost to the fourth cilium. Ocellar granules are not present. The mouth ring is large and subterminal at U2–U5.

The scales show a strong diversity in size and shape between the various parts of the body. On the head and anterior neck region the scales are located far from each other, while on the posterior neck and anterior trunk region the scales become gradually juxtaposed but do not overlap. The dorsolateral, lateral, ventrolateral and ventral trunk scales are juxtaposed, whereas the dorsal trunk scales and scales on the furcal appendages have overlapping posterolateral edges (

These scales are very large (6.4–13.0 ×5.2– 8.3 μm) and very thick. They are triangular, their central lobes are short, wide and pass seamlessly into wide, posterolateral lobes directed very far apart. The posterior edges of these scales are almost straight and only very narrowly notched.

). These scales have a strongly rounded central lobe and posterolateral lobes that are weakly separated from the central lobes, wide, short and directed downward, creating a V-shaped posterior notch. Their keels are strong but short and pass into short spines which do not extend to the posterior edge of the scales. On the lateral surface of the posterior trunk region, one pair of second to last trunk scales is located (at U71–U78). These scales are large (7.4–11.4 ×4.1–6.1 μm) and have a long, wide, strongly rounded and clearly pointed anterior central lobe. Their postero-lateral lobes are strongly separated from the central lobe and have long, narrow and sharp edges that are directed diagonally downward. These scales have strong keels and strong, long spines (scale 24;

). The size of the scales gradually decreases from the dorsal, dorsolateral and lateral surfaces towards the ventrolateral surface. The scales in the ventral longitudinal row located closest to the ciliary bands are short and wide, their central lobes are short and their posterolateral lobes are weakly separated. From the head to the widest body region the length of the posterolateral lobes of these scales, as well as their separation from the central lobes, gradually increase. The notches of the posterior edges of these scales are semicircular in shape. The ventral scales are much smaller than the scales of the other rows and their anterior edge is oriented towards the bands at an angle of ca 20°.

The first and the second pairs emerge from small, spherical papillae. The third, posterior pair of sensory bristles is located dorsolaterally on the posterior trunk region and furcal base and emerges from the small three-lobed scales with two strong keels situated at U77–U79. These scales have keels which are connected in the centre of the scales and have a strongly rounded, wide central lobe and short, weakly separated posterolateral lobes.

). The pharynx is connected through the pharyngeal–intestinal junction to a straight intestine, running from U29 to U84. The pharyngeal–intestinal junction is clearly demarcated, short and narrow (U29–U30). The X-organ of this species (observed in one specimen) is located at U80–U83 near the terminal part of the intestine. It is bilobed, built from two extensions enveloped in a thin coat and connected by a thinner band located behind the intestine at the ventral side. The extensions, the thin coat and the cellular bridge connecting the extensions have have a grain-like structure. The pair of sperm packets of this species are circular in shape and contain spermatozoids (12 per packet) in the form of a short rod. They are located at U62–U64 on both sides, juxtaposed to the intestine (
