The body is oblong oval with a length of 7.1 mm. The maximum width in the second half of the body is 3.1 mm. The dorsal side is slightly curved, the ventral side is flat.

Circa 70 annuli were counted. The first six annuli are in the head area. All annuli have the same width value. In the area of the midbody, the three annuli per segment are clearly visible on the outer edge because they are separated by a deeper marginal furrow.

) with a maximum width and length of 2.1 mm. However, only the rear part is slightly wider. The cranial sucker merges into a rather narrow furrow that runs on the underside of the mouth flap. The edge is thin. In the center of the flat cranial sucker is a small, pinprick-shaped but clear mouth opening. The caudal sucker is almost circular with a length of 0.59 mm and a width of 0.60 mm (max. 0.95 and 0.95 mm). The width of the caudal sucker is on average less than one third of the maximum body width. The caudal sucker, which is ventrally oriented and has a wide base, is flat with strong edges.

The living animal is certain to have a light base color, probably light brown or yellowish. The ventral side is lighter. There are no spots or patterns. There are 30 to 36 thin stripes (muscle strands) recognizable as faint longitudinal lines, especially in the middle and rear part. The outer edge is a hyaline area that is more or less pronounced (Fig.

The entire body is smooth. There are no warts or prominent papillae. Only tiny, evenly spaced, sensory papillae are visible at high magnification. At the margins, these papillae appear to be more concentrated where the hyaline outer lobes protrude.

The original six eyes and their arrangement are therefore typical of the genus. The eyes do not differ in size.

already pointed out the merging of the eyes (specimens No. 21-25), so that only three eyes can be seen instead of six (three pairs) of eyes. One specimen is even said to have a complete fusion of all six eyes, but this could not be confirmed in the present revision. Some specimens were curled and severely hardened so that the eyes were not visible.

Both gonopores are very small and inconspicuous to almost invisible. Gonopores can only be seen in five specimens from a body length of 5.9 mm, mostly only very faintly. The distance between the male and female gonopore is two annuli. Sometimes the furrow between them also appears somewhat darker, giving the appearance of three gonopores. However, this remains unconfirmed.

Bunia is located at about 1,250 m above sea level on the edge of the Blue Mountains (with elevations of up to 2,000 m above sea level) immediately west of Lake Albert on the border with Uganda.
