up to 295 Μm in total body length, with a distinct anterior pre-buccal apparatus and an elongate bilobed caudum. Buccal palps bearing five dorsal cephalic papillae with sensory hair and four-six minute ventral papillae. Cuticular armature of pentancres extending from the margin of oral cavity to the base of pedicles (caudum) ornaments the entire dorsal surface. Adhesive tubes: pedicles with three distal adhesive tubes (TbP) of unequal length and an adhesive tube at the base. TbA, six in number, in 2+2+2 pattern; TbL, 10-12 per side between U39 and U89. Nine pairs of granular epidermal glands between U25 and U87.5. Sensory hairs on the pre-buccal palps and trunk. Tactile cilia border the margin of the buccal cavity. Caudal organ pear shaped; frontal organ spherical. Oocytes located in the mid body.

Their dorsal margin project out a little beyond the ventral margin. Pre-buccal apparatus has five fleshy dorsal papillae ranging in length from 6 Μm to12 Μm, symmetrically arranged in 2+1+2 pattern. All papillae are with tactile cilia at the tip. Four to six smaller papillae are present along the ventral margin of the buccal palps, arranged in 2+2 or 3+3 pattern. Several sensory hairs (3 Μm) present on the outer lateral margins of pre-buccal apparatus among which, a longer one measured 16 Μm. Sensory hairs or lateral bristles (10 Μm long) of uncertain numbers seen on the lateral margins of the body as well (U22-U91).
