Large and stout body. Cuticle smooth. Few short (about 9–12 µm long) somatic setae scattered along body. Cephalic region set-off with presence of cephalic capsule (17 µm in height). Cephalic capsule with same thickness throughout its rough surface. Anterior edge located at level of cephalic setae. Posterior end with no real incisions forming lobes but with slightly scalloped edge. Three rounded lips. Each lip carries two inner slender labial setae (9 µm long). Six outer labial setae (18 µm long) and four barely shorter cephalic setae (17 µm long) located at anterior of cephalic capsule, arranged in single crown. Immediately posterior to cephalic capsule four short subdorsal and subventral subcephalic setae (about 4 µm) and further posteriorly (about 30 µm after cephalic capsule), arranged in four subdorsal and subventral groups of two or three, larger cervical setae present (15 µm long). Amphideal aperture circular and amphideal fovea pouch-shaped, small (8% of cbd), laterally located just posterior to capsule end. Metanemes not seen. Funnel-shaped buccal cavity with wide opening widens at level of mandibles. Its armature consists of three mandibles, each composed of two vertical rods (16 µm) united by arcuate bar (7 µm), at top ending as left and right claws. Each mandible has tooth (13 µm). The three teeth equal in size. No ocellus nor pigment spots. Pharynx cylindrical with irregular contours, cardia not visible. Nerve ring lying at about 33% of pharynx length from anterior end. Excretory-secretory system not visible. Reproductive system diorchic, with opposed and outstretched testes in right position relative to intestine. One precloacal supplement, bar-shaped, located about 3 abd above cloaca. No precloacal setae present. Spicules paired, arcuate, with slight manubrium (1.4 abd). Gubernaculum small (26% of spicule, 0.4 abd), embracing spicule, two dorso-caudal apophyses present. The gubernaculum divided into two parts. Proximal part with two small pointed teeth, surrounds tips of spicules. Arched dense zone, shaped like ring, separates it from distal triangular part. Tail 3.4 abd long, conical with end part cylindrical (
