Morphology and Anatomy:

  • Cuticular sheath attached at anterior end and vulva and well separated on tail.
  • Body annuli distinct and rounded, 3-4 μm wide in mid-body region.
  • Lateral field absent and anastomoses lacking.
  • Lip region not set off, rounded with a prominent labial disc and two annuli.
  • Cephalic framework well developed and moderately sclerotised.
  • Stylet long, well developed, ca 51-61 μm long (covering 14-16 sheath annuli). Conus about 86% of stylet length.. Stylet knobs well developed, anchor-shaped, 5-7 μm wide.
  • DEGO 2.0-2.5 μm posterior to stylet base.
  • Procorpus and metacorpus amalgamated. Median bulb with well-developed valve. Isthmus small and narrow followed by distinct basal bulb.
  • Secretory-excretory pore posterior to basal bulb, 22-30 annuli from anterior end.
  • Female gonad monodelphic, prodelphic, outstretched with oocytes arranged in a single row.
  • Vagina distinct, straight to sigmoid, anteriorly directed.
  • Vulva posterior, located 7-9 annuli from terminus and at about 90-93% of body length, distinct slit-like,without vulval flap but with a prominent membranous sheath.
  • Spermatheca well developed, oblong to ovoid-shaped, without sperm.
  • Anus obscure.
  • Tail conoid, convex dorsally, tapering gradually to a slightly narrower rounded or more pointed tip.
  • Male Not found.
