Cuticle three-layered, consisting of inner layer thicker than the others, especially obvious at caudal region where it bears distinct radial striation, an intermediate and more transparent layer, and a thinner outer layer nearly smooth under LM but bearing very fine transverse striation under SEM; cuticle thickness 23 Μm in anterior region, 46 Μm at mid-body and 815 Μm on dorsal side of tail. Cervical lacunae often clearly visible. Lateral chord comparatively narrow, 57 Μm wide or up to one-tenth (710%) of mid-body diameter, of granular nature and lacking any other differentiation. Lip region rounded to slightly truncate anteriorly, offset by constriction, 2.22.8 times as broad as high or less than one-sixth (1115%) of body diameter at neck base; lips separate, under SEM appearing conoid, tapering toward the oral aperture, and with deep radial incisures in between; labial and cephalic papillae very low, not interfering the labial contour. Amphid fovea cup-like, its aperture 79 µm wide or occupying about four-fifths (7582%) of lip region diameter. Cheilostom a truncate cone, lacking any differentiation. Odontostyle small, somewhat fusiform, as thick as the cuticle at its level, equal to or hardly longer (1.01.2 times) than lip region diameter, 5.86.8 times as long as wide and 0.360.40% of body length; aperture 3.03.5 µm long, occupying one-fourth to one-third (2535%) of total length. Guiding ring thin, simple but visibly refractive, at 1114 µm or 0.80.9 times the lip region diameter from the anterior end. Odontophore rod-like, 1.82.2 times the odontostyle length, bearing a very slight thickening at its approximate midpoint. Pharynx consisting of a slender and weakly muscular anterior portion, which is separated from the basal expansion by a short isthmus-like narrowing, and bearing a well developed, spindle-shaped thickening with valvelike structures, situated at 117155 Μm from anterior end; basal expansion 1320 times as long as broad, 7.59.9 times longer than body diameter at neck base, and occupying up to three-fourths (6873%) of total neck length; a very distinct spiral muscular sheath, with nearly straight muscular bands, envelops the whole basal expansion. Cardia tongue-like, 2225 Μm long
