Distally the funnel widens and forms a relatively large collar, which, at one side, projects widely beyond the stylet proper. This collar is 1417 µm broad (= 15; n = 5, the distal part of the stylet in one specimen is oriented in a way that prevents correct measurements) and has no slit. Its distal rim is only partly provided with delicate teeth.

However, the clear and consistent differences observed in the construction of the stylet, together with their disjunct distribution indicate that these three forms are better considered separate species.
