Dorsum dark brown with a whitish median stripe only present on the cephalic and posterior body regions. Eyes dorsal with clear halos. Pharynx cylindrical. Prostatic vesicle extrabulbar, tubular, with narrow lumen, and proximally forked. Male atrium twice the length of the female atrium, highly folded. Proximal part of male atrium with small folds. Ovaries anterior to the anteriormost testes. Distal sections of ovovitelline ducts ventral to the female atrium, joining behind it. Common ovovitelline duct vertical and posterior to the female atrium, and female genital canal antero-dorsally flexed. Female atrium with folded walls.
