Body straight or slightly arcuate, tapering at both extremities but more toward the posterior end. Cuticle with fine transverse striations. Longitudinal striations faint or inconspicuous. Lateral field with six longitudinal lines. Lip region slightly offset from adjoining body. Lips globular, usually expanded, grouped in doublets forming three sectors (one subdorsal and two subventral sectors) around a triradiate oral aperture. Amphids inconspicuous under light microscope. Stoma rhabditoid

, moderately cuticularized, 1.6–2.4 times the lip region diameter in length. Pharyngeal sleeve surrounding 55–58% of stoma. Cheilostom not cuticularized; gymnostom smaller than stegostom. Metastegostom isomorphic with each plate bearing four or five knobbed, setose denticles. Telostegostom isoglottoid. Pharynx differentiated into cylindrical, 105–135 µm long corpus; isthmus slightly narrower, 44–65 µm long and a round double-chambered, basal bulb of 25–29 × 20–25 µm dimension with a grinder. Isthmus slightly tapering posteriorly towards basal bulb. Nerve ring at 69–77% of pharyngeal length. Secretory–excretory pore slightly anterior to basal bulb, about 76–86% of pharyngeal length with anterior 6–10 µm of duct cuticularized and relatively straight; further posteriorly duct is convoluted towards the secretory cells. Hemizonid observed in most specimens at level of nerve ring. Pharyngeal corpus 1.3–1.6 times longer than postcorpus (isthmus and basal bulb together). Body at pharyngeal end 2.6–3.1 times the lip region diameter in length. Cardia conoid, 4–7 µm long. Intestinal cells with large nuclei, lining of intestinal lumen thick, refractive. Rectum length 1.1–1.5 times anal body diameter, with three rectal glands at its junction with intestine. Prerectal part not conspicuously differentiated. Reproductive system didelphic, amphidelphic. Ovaries dorsally reflexed; anterior ovary right and posterior on left side of intestine. Oviduct proximally connected to offset, ovoid spermatheca containing sperm. One to twelve intrauterine eggs, in different stages of embryonation, dimensions 55–60 × 26–34 µm. Vagina thick-walled, at right angle to longitudinal body axis, length about one-third of vulval body diameter. Vulva a wide transverse slit, covering
