First cephalic annule cone-like, truncate, barely inflated, about two head-lengths long. Stoma comparatively long, about three first cephalic annule lengths long, surrounded by an oesophageal collar. Oesophagus consisting of a muscular, sub-cylindrical procorpus, its base slightly wider and well set-off from the short isthmus. Basal bulb sub-spherical, valve plate well developed. Intestine simple, sub-rectilinear, anterior portion dilated. Rectum short, anus not prominent, as a crescent-like slit. Nerve ring encircling procorpus at about its midpoint. Excretory pore situated at about half of a body width posterior to basal bulb. Genital tract didelphic-amphidelphic, both ovaries reflexed. Anterior ovary reflexed behind the excretory pore, posterior ovary reflexed at about a body width before the anus. Distal flexures of ovaries about one body width-length long.
