Head slightly wider than neck, separated from trunk by an inconspicuous neck constriction. Cephalion clearly demarcated, epipleurae and hypopleurae not recognizable. Trunk comparatively narrow, not broader than head, widest at ca U63, narrowest at ca U88. Mouth ventral, no cuticular teeth. Hypostomium bears a rectangular cuticular structure accompanied by two posterior lateral lamellae. Pharynx with anterior and posterior dilatations. Intestine straight, with a marked anterior section. Scales slightly overlapping, distributed in 1618 columns, 4045 scales per column. Dorsal surface covered from posterior end of cephalion (ca U1) to furca base (U94) with (i) spined, three-lobed scales with rounded anterior end and (ii) spined, three-lobed scales with truncated anterior end. Spines short, narrowed posteriorly, without denticles. Ventral side carries two broad ciliary bands and two pairs of ciliary fields around mouth and hypostomium. Interciliary filed bears (i) V-shaped scales without keels, (ii) bowl-shaped scales without keels, (iii) obtriangular scales with very minute keels, and (iv) narrowly obovate, keeled scales. Furca base longer than adhesive tubes, lateral margins more or less straight, furcal indentation deeply V-shaped, adhesive tubes diverging posteriorly. Dorsal side of furca base and branches covered with three-lobed scales, ventral side with oblong, spined scales and oval to broadly fusiform, keeled scales.</paragraph>

). Body width is 18.821.7 µm at U10, 22.523.7 µm at U50, and 26.130.7 µm at U60. The head is relatively wide (1115 µm at U6), with a plate-like, rounded cephalion. Epi- and hypopleurae are not recognizable. The neck (ca U12U25) is only inconspicuously marked and smoothly continues to the trunk region. The trunk is about as narrow as the head, gradually dilating from approximately U38 to U63, where it reaches the maximum width. Then it gradually tapers towards U88, where the curved margins of the furca branches start to form. Dorsal sensory bristles were not observed. The furcal indentation is deeply V-shaped. The furca branches are set apart and diverge posteriorly. Well-developed adhesive tubes are approximately 9 µm long, they are straight and almost in parallel (

SCALES. Almost the entire body is covered by slightly overlapping three-lobed scales that adhere to the basal cuticle layer along either all or most of their perimeter. Scales are distributed in 1618 longitudinal rows, with 4045 scales in the central row. Their size increases slightly in a posterior direction. Central dorsal and dorsolateral longitudinal rows of scales begin at the level of the anterior edge of the cephalion (ca U1), while lateral rows start at ca U6. They run almost along the whole body length (till U94). Ventrolateral rows commence at U23 due to the highly developed and wide anterior part of ciliary rows and terminate in the furcal region (at ca U91). Ventral rows start at U10, are staggered, and exhibit a horizontal zonation pattern. Given the shape of the anterior scale lobe, two main
